CCE issues solidarity statement with the WGC

The CCE would like to express their support of the Writers Guild of Canada, whose members have voted to authorize strike action in their negotiations with the CMPA.

From the WGC press release on April 25th

“The WGC has been fighting for an agreement that will protect the livelihoods of its members and preserve a future for screenwriters in Canada. To date, the parties have not been able to negotiate meaningful protections for both live action and animation writers against AI, reasonable compensation for animation writers, or secure minimum participation of screenwriters during production of television series.”

We stand in solidarity with WGC members.
