The 2007-08 writers' strike, and lingering mistrust between big media companies and their Hollywood workers, has cast a long shadow over current WGA contract talks.
On the eve of contract negotiations, leaders of the WGA are pressing their case as to why writers deserve better pay in the streaming era.Studio bosses in 2007 were worried about the more aggressive stance of guild leaders, then-WGA West President Patric Verrone and Executive Director David Young, a veteran union organizer. Studios stockpiled scripts in preparation..
“The strike was about the future of media and the future of writing, which we were all struggling to understand,” Verrone said. “We knew the world was going to change, and we needed to plant the flag.”For weeks, some executives were dismissive of writers’ demands to address what was then called “new media.”
One executive who was deeply involved on the studios’ side described being “caught in a fight of ignorance.”
