The WGA is a labor union composed of the thousands of writers who write the content for television shows, movies, news programs, documentaries, animation, and Internet and mobile phones (new media) that keep audiences constantly entertained and informed. The WGA’s primary duty is to represent their members in negotiations with film and television producers to ensure the rights of screen, television, and new media writers. Because of the WGA’s long-term efforts, writers receive pension and health coverage, and their financial and creative rights are protected.
