The Writers Guild of America West staff voted to authorize a strike, suggesting management wasn’t bargaining “in good faith.”“82% of WGSU members voted YES to authorize a ULP strike,” the union staffers, represented by the Pacific Northwest Staff Union, wrote on Instagram Thursday.
If management won’t bargain in good faith with us at the table, we will see them on the picket line.
#ItsTime.”However, WGA West hit back at the claim management hadn’t bargained in good faith, defending that they had put forward “comprehensive proposals with numerous union protections and improvements to compensation and benefits.”“Public claims suggesting otherwise are inaccurate, and allegations of unfair labor practices are without merit,” WGA West added.
However, members of the WGSU have reportedly been in negotiations with WGA West management since September.
WGA West denied the allegation at the time.
