This from the Guild that is giving Les Moonves its most visionary producer award. How can we members take anything they do seriously. This whole organization is just a group of suck ups who want to mark their little piece of the world.
Vance has it out for writers who write and produce in TV but just not the writers who can give him a job. It’s a witch hunt mentality over there to be sure.
How out instead of using our dues to hire an attorney, use the money to hire a job coordinator. As it is, when somebody submits a job you take a day or two to post it to members and in the meantime it’s been posted on realitystaff and other sites and filled.
