The Struggle to End the Writers Room in Television

"The companies in recent years have said oh hold on a second we can save a lot of money if we separate the writers room from production," says SAG-AFTRA president. "So as a result of that we are looking for a structural change in our contract where we're saying we want to codify that norm", he adds. The DGA might have less of it which is maybe why they settled this year rather than going out on strike, according to Iotsey.
