Writers Guild of America

Le terme Writers Guild of America fait référence au syndicat des scénaristes américains. Ce syndicat protège les droits d'auteur des scénaristes, tout en les favorisant dans le domaine du cinéma.

• The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE), représente les scénaristes TV & Film autour de New York City.
• The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), représente les scénaristes TV & Film autour de Hollywood et du sud de la Californie.

Ce syndicat très puissant a connu de grandes grèves à Hollywood en 1960, en 1988 et de novembre 2007 jusqu'au 24 janvier 2008.
