Last night’s WGA West membership meeting at the Sheraton Universal was a wake-up call for Ayelet Waldman, an opposition candidate in the WGA West board election who says she now no longer feels wel…
West board election who says she now no longer feels welcome either in the election or the union. She’s determined, however, to stay in the race as a member of Phyllis Nagy’s slate of running mates who want to see the guild return to the bargaining table with the Association of Talent Agents and end the nearly four-month standoff over packaging fees and agency affiliations with related production entities.
Waldman said she’s not dropping out of the race, however, because “I don’t want to give a troll the pleasure of chasing me out of the race. But I don’t know what I’m doing this for anymore.”Before last night’s meeting, she tweeted that her slate is “focused on Guild unity. We are proud union members, who want to see the WGA remain vital and powerful. That means writers unified.
What I did not expect, however, was to be attacked. I didn’t expect to be told I didn’t ‘care about writers.
And so I defended myself. I stood up and insisted that I, like the board members on the dais, care about writers. I challenged the Board members to act on their demand for civility and shut the questioner down. After reminding me that it was unacceptable to interrupt, David Young told the questioner that his comments were inappropriate. When the questioner ignored the admonition, David Goodman cut him off and told him it was not okay to attack fellow union members.
