of dropping the lawsuit it had filed in state court against the Big 4 talent agencies because “WGA leadership knew their lawsuit against the agencies was about to be found baseless and be dismissed.” The agency on Tuesday claimed the guild dropped the suit “instead of incurring that embarrassment right before their election.”and filed answers and counter-claims in the federal antitrust case that CAA, WME and UTA had previously brought against the guild.
“It is time for the WGA leadership to stop posturing and do their job—which is to negotiate a new agreement with the agencies that best serves their membership, in the face of industry consolidation that has created formidable behemoth entertainment conglomerates to negotiate with,” ICM said in a statement.
“Yesterday’s headlines obfuscate the truth of the WGA’s actions,” ICM Partners said. “The truth is, if the WGA leadership actually believed packaging was illegal, they would have welcomed the Court’s upcoming decision on the validity of their claims. But they know their claims are legally and factually wrong. Knowing this, they first sought a delay of the ruling until after their elections, and when that strategy failed, they withdrew their claims entirely.
