The Writers Guild of America announced in a memo on Tuesday that its members have overwhelmingly approved the pattern of demands set forth by leadership for its upcoming contract negotiation talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, setting the stage for negotiations to begin on March 20.
98.4% of the 5,643 votes were in favor of approving the pattern of demands, with only 90 votes against. For comparison, in 2020, 3,336 members voted, with 90.7% (3,028) voting yes and 9.3% (308) voting no.In recent weeks, the WGA has held membership meetings to gather input on priorities for the upcoming talks.
