Writers_guild_of_america

The Writers Guild of America is a generic term referring to the joint efforts of two different US labor unions:

• The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE), representing TV & Film writers around New York City.
• The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), representing TV & Film writers in Hollywood and southern California.

The WGAE and WGAW negotiate contracts in unison and also launch work stoppages simultaneously:

• Writers Guild of America strike (2007–2008).
  • Effect of the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike on television, a list of television shows affected by the strike.
  • Reaction by actors to the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike, an article about actors\' reactions and actions regarding the strike.
• 1988 Writers Guild of America strike
• 1960 Writers Guild of America strike

Although each Guild runs independently, they do both perform some activities in parallel:

• Writers Guild of America Award, an annual awards show with simultaneous presentations on each coast.
• WGA screenwriting credit system, determines how writers\' names are listed during the credits.
• WGA script registration service, online services to prove when scripts were written and by whom.
• International Affiliation of Writers Guilds (IAWG), an international labor federation both Guilds belong to.
