The Writers Guild of America (WGA) is a labor union representing writers in the film, television, and digital media industries. It advocates for the rights and interests of its members, ensuring fair compensation, working conditions, and creative control over their work. The WGA also provides resources and support for writers, including training and networking opportunities. Founded in 1933, the WGA has played a significant role in shaping the entertainment industry. It negotiates collective bargaining agreements with major studios and networks, helping to establish industry standards. The organization is divided into two main branches: the Writers Guild of America, East and the Writers Guild of America, West.
