Workers of the world unite! We get a story today about the WGA fucking over their workers from our amigos at cinematical:
There was a lengthy story in the LA Weekly earlier this week about the allegations of whistleblower Teri Mial, a former WGA employee, that the WGA has been routinely sitting on foreign payouts due to its writers. This is a continuation of a story that began some 18 months ago, when former WGA member William Richert filed a class action suit against the organization, alleging the WGA had engaged in a systematic practice of withholding funds due to writers and their heirs — to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
There you have it folks. I don’t know much about the WGA but it is important to stick it to the man when workers are being taken advantage of. Please read the full investigative report at LA WEEKLY.
