Disney orders showrunners to continue working despite the writers strike.
The writers strike is about to enter its first weekend as members of the Writers Guild of America rightfully want fair compensation for their work. Their negotiations with AMPTP stalled on Monday night. This has thrown Hollywood into chaos and studios running scared. This of course includes Disney who just sent a letter to their showrunners demanding that they continue working through the writers strike.
“We want specifically to reiterate to you as a showrunner or other writer-producer that you are not excused from performing your duties as a showrunner and/or producer on your series as a result of the WGA strike.
The letter would also go on to say, “Your duties as a showrunner and/or producer are not excused, suspended or terminated until and unless you are so notified in writing by the Studio.” In the Q & A section of the letter it would further specify, “you may, along with other non-writing services, be required to perform services commonly referred to as ‘a. thorough h.’ services as a producer.
