Termination of Talent Agency Agreement Dashboard Dashboard

Dear WGAW Member,

After months of member outreach, the WGAW Board and WGAE Council have voted unanimously to reopen the Guilds’ 42-year-old agency agreement.

Today the Guilds sent a 12-month notice to terminate the Artists’ Manager Basic Agreement of 1976 (AMBA) to the Association of Talent Agents. We also made proposals that address the concerns members have discussed with us.

The terms and conditions of the current AMBA remain in effect through April 6, 2019.

We’ll keep you updated regarding any significant developments. There is preliminary information available on the WGAW website, and you can send questions or concerns to Agency Agreement.

In solidarity, Board of Directors, Writers Guild of America West
