“Shortly after joining the Writers’ Guild I worked for a TV company whose treatment of writers broke every rule in the book. When things came to a head the Guild was there to offer me legal advice and support. Without the Guild I would have been lost. The commitment, energy and calm efficiency of Guild members who work tirelessly for the good of their fellow writers never ceases to amaze me. Without our stories, there would be no TV drama or comedy. Yet writers are amongst the most isolated and vulnerable of workers; on our own we have little power or leverage. Working together in the Guild is the only way to safeguard our interests and improve our working conditions. In such austere times a union like the Guild that punches so very far above its weight is worth every penny of our subscriptions – and more!”
