As expected, WGA members have voted overwhelmingly to approve a Pattern of Demands for the guild’s upcoming film and TV contract negotiations, which are set to begin March 20.
The combined vote of the WGA West and the WGA East was 5,553 (98.4%) voting yes, and 90 (1.6%) voting no. The WGA’s current contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers expires May 1 amid growing concerns about a possible writers’ strike.
By comparison, the vote on the Pattern of Demands three years ago was 3,028 (90.7%) voting yes and 308 (9.3%) and 9.3% (308) voting no.
The latest vote is also in line with the balloting for the demands that ultimately lead to the WGA’s 100-day strike in 2007-08, when 96% of the members voted to approve them.
