Writers Guild of America

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is the name of two American labor unions representing writers in film, television, radio, and online media: The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) is headquartered in New York City and is affiliated with the AFL-CIO national trade union center The Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) is headquartered in Los Angeles and is unaffiliated with any larger national trade union. Although both organizations operate independently, they perform some common activities, including negotiating contracts and launching strike actions, as well as maintaining the American database of writing credits, and arbitrating between writers when conflicts arise.
