“A new USA Today/Gallup Poll shows that 60 percent of Americans support the Writers Guild of America in their fight against the media corporations. 

The American people overwhelmingly support the writers because they realize our cause is just and our proposal is fair: when we create valuable content for the companies we deserve to be paid. It's time for these gigantic media conglomerates to listen to the voice of the people, return to the bargaining table and get serious about negotiating an honest deal that would put everyone back to work.

The survey also found that 38 percent of prime-time viewers now say they'll watch less TV. Ratings will continue to slide. By refusing to negotiate with the writers, the media companies are now kicking their own customers out the door. That can't be good for business. We ask them to come back to the negotiating room and work with us in designing a fair and reasonable deal that would end the strike.

The people have spoken. The writers are waiting.”

The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) represents writers in the motion picture, broadcast, cable, and new media industries in both entertainment and news. For more information, please visit: www.wga.org.
