Statement from AMPTP President Nick Counter:

We are outraged by the WGA’s “Strike Rules” filled with threats of fines, punishment and blacklisting.

It is troubling and irresponsible that the WGA leadership spends so much time and energy on tactics, threats and attempts to intimidate anyone who doesn’t agree with them, and so little time and energy on trying to reach a reasonable labor agreement that would avert a strike.

We expect that all of our employees will live up to their contractual obligations and we will vigorously pursue legal remedies if the WGA unlawfully tries to interfere with their ability to do so. We will aggressively defend and protect all our employees, including Guild and Union members, against any unlawful action taken by the WGA.

We are being flooded with requests by our employees for information regarding their rights and options as members and non-members of the WGA. We have posted answers to some of the most frequently asked questions here.
