WGA Tentative Deal Part 2

WGA Tentative Deal Part 2

 After 148 days on a gruelling strike, the WGA (Writers Guild of America) reached a tentative deal. When the negotiations began in spring earlier this year, the WGA made it very publicly known that they were willing to go on strike and that is exactly what they did. This resulted in a complete stoppage of work, and their allies at SAG-AFTRA quickly came to their aid and began their own strike (which is still ongoing). Upon completion of the negotiations, the WGA made a public statement congratulating everyone who held strong during the tough times.

Performers: Read your Contract!

Read your contract

We’ve all done it. We’ve all agreed to some websites or app’s terms and conditions without actually reading them. Rehearsal spaces and performing venues’ security waivers get signed in the blink of an eye that did not read each and every word. In this day and age where podcasts and audiobooks’ popularity keeps on growing, people are reading less and less. As a result, it seems that the average artist can no longer be bothered to read what’s being handed out in contracts’ negotiations. After all, this is only about giving time, talent, and tears to a show for a few weeks or several months!
