on Monday. Buchwald said its negotiated agreement includes several improvements to the recently signed Kaplan Stahler agreement, and said it “now becomes the first mid-sized, full-service agency to sign the guild’s franchise agreement.”
These and other modifications to the old code, including a new provision that allows writers to object to their agents turning over their confidential contract information to the guild, has led to what many believe will be a steady stream of mid-tier agencies signing the guild’s new franchise agreement.
In a statement today citing that story, the guild said that “Our goal remains to move the negotiation process forward with all unsigned agencies.” None of the Big Four packaging agencies – WME, CAA, UTA and ICM Partners – is expected to agree to the guild’s terms anytime soon, if ever. And together, they were responsible for nearly all of TV packaging.nearly 90% of all scripted TV shows were packaged by talent agencies
But whyyyyyy won't the Guild negotiaaaaate?!!!!!
buchwaldtalent 👏🏾
“Realign the agency business.” No, Deadline, packaging did that. The WGA wants agency to work the way agency is supposed to work.
I’m amazed you covered it
The plot is thickening!!! Will the BigFour cave...probably not, but the WGAW is 💪 about now. As with all negotiations, here’s to bargaining in good faith 🥂
