Writers Guild Urges Shareholders to Reject Compensation Packages of Top Executives.

(Los Angeles, CA) — The Writers Guild of America is targeting top executives’ pay in letters sent to major shareholders of Netflix and Comcast. On Tuesday, WGA president Meredith Stiehm urged shareholders to reject the “Say on Pay” proposal, which asks them to sign off on the company’s prior year pay packages. In the letters, Stiehm detailed the disparity in pay between top executives and writers. As the strike moves into the summer, the guild is successfully building pressure on studios by shutting down active film productions and wants to get the shareholders on board. The guild continues to gain leverage with it’s actions because it’s ultimate goal is to send a message to studios.
