West is asking its members to prioritize the issues they would most like to be addressed at the guild’s upcoming negotiations for a new film and TV contract. The current pact with management’s AMPTP – known as the Minimum Basic Agreement – expires on May 1.

Establishing a foreign box office residual for feature films: “Credited feature writers currently receive no additional compensation for release of a feature film in foreign theatrical markets. Writers of TV episodes do receive additional residual compensation in foreign markets.” Improving compensation for staff writers by adding script fees and/or eliminating the ‘new writer discount’: “Currently, staff writer script fees are credited against weekly compensation. In addition, a company can elect to pay certain staff writers 75% of minimum for the first 14 weeks or 60% of minimum for the first seven weeks via the ‘new writer discount.’”
Improving feature roundtable minimums: “Writers are hired to work together on a project and are paid a weekly minimum that can be pro-rated by the day.” Improving residuals for original TV and feature programming on streaming services: “Residuals for reuse of original SVOD programming on streaming platforms are often lower than in traditional reuse markets and have not kept pace with the global growth of SVOD.”
