At a Writers Guild of America meeting on Saturday, senior writer-producers discussed 'scary letters' they had been receiving from employers, divergent rep advice and cross-union solidarity.
The meeting came after the first week of the strike and as studios including Disney, Warner Bros.
Discovery and Paramount, among others, sent letters last weeknon-writing producing duties, in some cases in ways that could potentially cross the picket line. Disney’s letter, for example, told showrunners that in this capacity they “may… be required” to perform so-called “ through services,” the performance of which is banned by the WGA’s strike rules.
