The DGA reached a deal with the AMPTP after only five days of negotiations something the WGA hasn't been able to do since November..and by doing so has infuriated many writers who are now looking to go Financial core...that is when you may resign from your union or guild in this case and become what is known as dues paying non members ..you keep your union jobs and all your benefits but you are no longer constitutional members of the union so you cant vote or run for office you are free not to follow the union rules or regulations..these people are worse then scabs because they enjoy all the benefits their brothers and sisters have fought for but don't pay along with them ..the fact that its come down to this should really make the WGA members look what got them to this point ..poor leadership..dissension in the ranks ..hopefully this will be a wake-up call to the writers and maybe they can right the ship before it get even worse ..and the WGA is just a memory..and the only thing left on television are reality shows.
