The WGGB encouraged members to report to the Guild “the name of any non-member whom you believe has performed writing services for a struck company and as much information as possible about the non-member’s services.”
UK WGGB writers who accept work on WGA projects and break the WGGB directive will essentially be viewed as ‘crossing a picket line’ and will be blacklisted. Several have indicated to Deadline over the weeks that they would refuse.
