WGA West Cancels Annual Writers Awards

WGA West has canceled its annual Writers Guild Awards scheduled for March 8 after 115 WGA staffers remained on strike following stalled contract talks, union president Michele Mulroney said in a Sunday memo. The staff union struck Feb. 17, filed an NLRB complaint, and seeks AI-surveillance protections, just-cause arbitration, and higher wage scales; WGA East will still hold its New York ceremony.
