Writer's Strike

How does the writer's strike affect the copywriter?

[REW Reed]

According to Wiki:

"The 2007 Writers Guild of America strike is a strike by both the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) and the Writers Guild of America, west (WGAW) that started on November 5, 2007.[2] The WGAE and WGAW are two labor unions that represent film, television and radio writers working in the United States."

So, unless any copywriter is a member of the WGA or WGAW, it has no effect on their production. Other organizations have voiced their support, but no other unions have joined the strike.

"The WGA has acknowledged support from several unions, including the Screen Actors Guild, the Teamsters, the Service Employees International Union, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, the National Writers Union, as well as writers guilds in Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and New Zealand."
