has asserted that writers need to demand their fair share of the profits — and that the guild will continue to take an aggressive stance.
Goodman and his allies handily won the WGA West contest Monday with a record turnout of 58%. After winning, Goodman promised that WGA leaders would begin meeting soon with individual agencies to sign agreements with the bans on packaging fees and affiliate production. “We will also obviously continue our work on the agency campaign,” he added. “Given the large numbers of Guild-wide emails sent by all the candidates and other members during the election cycle, we refrained from sending out agency updates during that period. Because the outcome of the election was seen as possibly affecting our strategy, many agencies explicitly stated they would not negotiate with us during that period, so there isn’t a lot to report.
