Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer The members of the Writers Guild of America West have voted overwhelmingly to approve Ellen Stutzman‘s contract as the union’s executive director, a year after she led the union through a historic strike.
Stutzman’s contract was ratified with 97% of the vote, with 2,279 in favor and 72 opposed. Stutzman was promoted to executive director last November, when the union announced that David Young, its longtime leader, would retire.
Young had taken a medical leave earlier that year, leaving Stutzman in place as chief negotiator during the talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
