WGAW Updated Statement on Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee's Scheduled Appearance on The Tonight Show
LOS ANGELES -- The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) has issued the following updated statement regarding Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's appearance on The Tonight Show:
"The Writers Guild is disappointed that Mike Huckabee crossed the WGA picket line today at NBC. We welcome the statements of support he has made for striking writers, but we ask him to respect our picket lines in the future and urge the media conglomerates to return to the bargaining table to make a fair deal that will put writers and the entertainment industry back to work."
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.
