Wondering how we determined the grades? The grades are based on public information, industry databases, internal Guild data, and writer reports about their recent experiences pitching/selling animated projects. Learn more about the process: https://t.co/867P4zWZCq. #WGAanimation

Introducing the WGAW Adult Animation Report Card: If you are pitching an animated series, this provides a snapshot of which companies have recently been more vs. less receptive to WGA coverage, which you can use as a guide to help determine which companies to pitch to.

Thanks to @joewengert and Aubrey Plaza for making @WGAWest coverage for their animated show and to @AmazonMGMStudio for doing the right thing. Animation writers: bring your projects to studios that support WGA coverage!
Thx to @MikeMcMahanTM & @joechandler for insisting their writers have @WGAWest coverage that all animation writers deserve! Thx to @CBSTVStudios for doing right thing. If u have a pitch for an animated series, take it to studios that don’t screw writers! Call @WGAWest for info
“I started working in TV during a time when you’d come up with a pitch and you actually had a marketplace to sell your concept to. Now that the studios and networks are functionally the same, it’s almost always a take-it-or-leave-it offer…Consolidation created a marketplace of creators who don’t have leverage to negotiate,” @gregorcorp (Chip’n’Dale Rescue Rangers)
And writers are covered by @WGAWest which means they are treated equal to live action writers in pay and benefits, like they should be. Congrats on Season 2!
Ya know who we should really have on the show more? Anthony Gioe.
So let’s have him on LIVE! Friday Oct. 20th at 10:00 PM, live from Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles: Good Boys + Gioe!
Get your tickets now! Livestream also available! https://t.co/9NWoeazkqv
Let me translate: if the WGA wants changes to this offer, the AMPTP just... refuses to talk about it. If negotiations fall apart after this, remember it's the AMPTP that walked away. It says so right here. Why they thought this would work or make them look good, I'll never know.
To clarify:
August 11: Initial counter offer from AMPTP
August 15: WGA offers counterproposal
August 22: AMPTP publicly releases unchanged offer from August 11, ignoring WGA's August 15 counterproposal entirely
3/3 #WGAstrike#WGAstrong#1u
