“We can’t just be a branch production plant for Hollywood,” says WGA president Alex Levine, citing internal guild data pointing to a 22 percent drop in median pay for local screenwriters over five years.
The Writers Guild of Canada claims its members have seen their average pay slide by 22 percent over the last five years, when adjusted for inflation, in a submission to Canada’s broadcast and telecom regulator.
“These numbers demonstrate the dire straits that Canadian screenwriters find themselves in. The 22 percent drop in Canadian screenwriter earnings has been devastating to our members. Out of work writers are switching careers. Others are leaving the country. Our domestic industry is dying,” WGC president Alex Levine told the CRTC as the media regulator looks to bring Hollywood online players for the first time into its regulatory framework.
