DGA leaders have informed their members of their rights and responsibilities in the event of a writers strike against the studios.
In an email to members dated April 18, DGA president Lesli Linka Glatter and National Executive Director Russell Hollander laid out the terms of the guild’s no-strike clauses, which require members to keep working even if there is a strike by another union.
They note, however, that while the guild’s “no-strike clauses are clear … as an individual, you cannot be forced to work. If you, as an individual, refuse to cross a picket line and perform your DGA-covered services, then your employer has the right to replace you; if you have a personal services agreement, you may be subject to claims for breach of contract.” Similar messages were sent to the DGA’s members in advance of the WGA’s 2007-08 strike and ahead of a threatened writers strike in 2017.
