Each writer is talented yet underpaid for their talent. The WGA, Writer Guild of America which is a union that covers the talented individuals who make up the stories, and write the dialogue for movies, television, the news, radio, and other outlets within the entertainment industry is currently fighting for the rights and pay of their members and even nonmembers working within the industry.
