According to the WGA negotiating committee, the studios are pushing for a "day rate" for comedy/variety writers. Truly horrifying. We won't survive something like that. #WGAStrong #WGAStrike #WGAStressed why is a day rate is a problem? it’s a rollback from our current contract, which protects us with weekly minimum rates. And for many comedy/variety shows, we require a 13 week contract. Day rates would allow studios to hire fewer writers and overwork the writers they do hire.
