Australian Writers’ Guild joins solidarity strike for WGA

Members of the Australian Writers’ Guild today joined Sydney-based TV and film writers in a show of solidarity for striking US screenwriters.

Today the Australian Writers’ Guild (AWG) joined television writers, film writers and other screen workers around the world for the Screenwriters Everywhere International Day of Solidarity, a gesture of support for the Writers Guild of America (WGA).

In May, the Australian Writers’ Guild posted a message of support for the WGA in its decision to take strike action, stating, ‘The rights and conditions of screenwriters underpin any healthy and vibrant screen industry.’
