DGA leaders have informed their members of their rights and responsibilities in the event of a writers strike against the studios. In an email to members dated April 18, DGA president Lesli Linka G…
Dear Member:
If there is no agreement by May 1, the WGA has the right to call a strike. Depending on the status of negotiations, they could choose not to do so. If there is no strike, writers would continue to work under the terms of the expired collective bargaining agreement. That situation would continue until there is a strike or an agreement.Like most collective bargaining agreements, the DGA Basic Agreement contains a “no strike clause.
Thus, it is an essential element of our Basic Agreement that the Guild not only refrain from striking during the term of the Basic Agreement, but also that the Guild assure Employers that our members will continue to perform DGA-covered services during the term of the Basic Agreement. These provisions are treated very seriously by the companies and the courts, and we take these obligations very seriously as well.
Our no-strike clauses are clear. However, as an individual, you cannot be forced to work. If you, as an individual, refuse to cross a picket line and perform your DGA-covered services, then your Employer has the right to replace you; if you have a personal services agreement, you may be subject to claims for breach of contract.If you are a dual WGA/DGA member employed on the picture or program only in a DGA-covered category and not as a writer, then you must continue working.
