Writers acting in solidarity put an end to a corrupt business practice that had existed for decades. Even when we disagreed, the membership held firm and stood together. Let's never forget our power. Congrats to us all.
We have reached an agreement with ICM! This comes after well over a year of WGA members standing strong together throughout the agency campaign. Follow the link for more details #1u https://t.co/Ko9E8Q0siC
this happened through solidarity. writers have the power when we stick together. it's always been true. it will always be true. we have to remember that. https://t.co/M0qPIzIYSQ
This is disgusting, Deadline. these practices hurt all writers. you are also implying that these practices are helpful because it lets studios hire women and POC for a bargain. Which, again, is disgusting. Nice work. https://t.co/IbGXnZpnnl
The agencies and the trades do not understand writers' commitment to their guild. They have underestimated our unity at every step of this conflict. They continue to do so. (6/6)
The Hollywood Reporter is now publishing straight, unabashed propaganda for the agencies concerning the WGA standoff. They are not even trying to hide it. (1/6)

The Reporter feels it's a tragedy that these writers get to join the WGA. But it's an honor and their fellow writers are thrilled for them. The WGA will provide them health care, pension and a community for their entire careers. A far greater benefit than any one deal. (5/6)
NY Post (who also broke the story of Endeavor's IPO pullout) reports agents are readying to leave WME. #wga
“If you’re a big lit agent and you were expecting a windfall from [Endeavor's] IPO and you have no clients, things are looking very difficult."

Another agency signed by WGA leadership negotiating in good faith. The guild wants to make deals. If agencies want their clients back, it's on them to engage.

Great piece on the why Endeavor cancelled their IPO. For years WME has acted as if they own the talent they represent. So much so, that they convinced themselves they do. Wall Street reminded them -- they don't. #RiskyEndeavor#wga https://t.co/NXbqXvD9Zj
Also, props to @latimes for giving the WGA due coverage. @DEADLINE gives us one sentence at the end of the article. Also... their comments are AGAIN turned off.
@DEADLINE turned off their comments on the articles about the #WGA election and David Goodman's win. They DELETED comments, then TURNED THEM OFF TO SILENCE WRITERS on their VICTORY. This is INSANE. They're no longer even trying to hide their loyalty to the agencies.
