The WGAWest reached a $5.25 million interest settlement with Disney
It’s the largest interest-only settlement in the WGA’s history, the union said. The settlement was reached by the guild’s “legal team,” the union announcement to members said, adding that over 250 writers have already received checks.
In the past, Fox primetime animation shows were virtually the only animation writing covered by the WGA, but they’ve been joined in the last several years by a number of streaming shows and features. It’s a patchwork, with some animation writing covered by neither union, and sensitivity on both sides. The WGA unsuccessfully sought blanket coverage of animation writing during its 2007-08 strike, a move that was opposed by both IATSE and the studios.
That’s not an insignificant sum: foreign free TV and foreign cable combined amounted to $59.3 million in residuals in 2018.
