As The Writers World Turns

International Guild Members Join U.S. Picket Lines, Hold Solidarity Marches Abroad

By Linda Haugsted -- Multichannel News, 11/28/2007 3:52:00 AM

International members of writers guilds will join striking television writers on the picket line in the U.S., as well as holding solidarity marches in Dublin, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Sydney, Auckland, Montreal and Berlin Nov. 28.

Members of the International Affiliation of Writers Guilds will join the Writers Guild of America West at the NBC Studios Burbank as part of the job action there. Speakers will include IAWG members such as Alex Cary of FX's The Riches.
Meanwhile, there have been no updates out of renewed negotiations between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, talks which resumed Nov. 26.

The WGA has been on strike since Nov. 5 against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers

As writers continue to picket, they are also sending barbs in the way of MTV veteran Carson Daly. Daly, unlike other late-night hosts including Jay Leno and David Letterman, is not a WGA member and has resumed production on his NBC show, Last Call. The union issued a statement criticizing Daly for seeking non-Guild writers to help create his show and calling for him to follow the lead of other late-night hosts by staying off the job.
