I’ve been attending the International Affiliation of Writers Guilds meetings, held this year at the WGAe offices in New York. WGAe has been trying to get a contract for their members at iTV but iTV has been refusing to come to the table and using a variety of stalling tactics.
The IAWG represents writers guilds from all over the world and this year writers from New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, the EU, South Africa, Israel, India, Mexico, France, Canada, Great Britain and the US were in attendance.
The WGAe staff asked us if we walk over to the iTV offices and hand out leaflets about the situation. And that’s what we did, chanting in a multitude of languages.
