Strike Captains: Members Stepping Up to Win This Fight

As of last night, I'm a strike captain. When I started out as a "contract captain," my job was to keep a team of WGA members who live near me informed about the negotiations, answering questions and relaying their concerns back to the Guild. Well, I've had to change hats. Captains like me are now organizing pickets and actions so we can (finally!) put this contract to rest.

In this video produced by the WGA.org team, several other captains explain why they stepped up and why this negotiation is so important to them.



If you're a WGA member and you aren't yet on a strike team, you can sign up online. If you want to be a captain, that's even better!
