The Writers Guild of America West moved to dismiss its own state lawsuit against several talent agencies as the union took its fight to the federal court.
The Writers Guild of America West on Monday moved to dismiss its own state lawsuit against several talent agencies as the union took its fight to federal court.
Separately, the guild said it filed lawsuits in federal court against William Morris Endeavor, United Talent Agency and CAA, alleging the agencies violated antitrust laws. The talent agencies disputed those claims, saying that packaging has been part of an agreement between the union and the talent agencies for more than three decades. The agencies also have said that writers could opt to not be a part of a package and that they benefit from packaging because they don’t have to pay a typical 10% commission fee.
The guild remains at a standoff with the talent agencies on a new code of conduct to replace one that expired this year. In April, the union instructed members to fire agents who did not sign the union’s new agreement.
