Rally to win industry standards for writers at Fremantle Media.

This was just forwarded to me with a request to repost. 

If you're unfamiliar with Fremantle, you don't have a television. They're behind lots of terrific game show and reality hits, including AMERICAN IDOL and the recently struck TEMPTATION, a retooling of the classic SALE OF THE CENTURY.

RALLY TO WIN INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR WRITERS AT FREMANTLEMEDIA

 

FremantleMedia is a major international content provider and producer of a slate of highly profitable shows that includes: American Idol, The Price Is Right, Family Feud, Temptation, The Next Great American Band, Farmer Wants A Wife, Million Dollar Password and America’s Got Talent.

 

While Fremantle reaps huge profits from these projects, they do so at the expense of their writers, who work without standard industry benefits including health insurance, residuals, pension contributions, and proper credits.  The WGAW is committed to exposing these deplorable employment practices.

 

Join the WGAW on December 7th, as we take our Campaign to Win Industry Standards for writers to FremantleMedia.

 

WHEN: Friday December 7th, 12-2

WHERE: Fremantle North America 4000 West Alameda, Burbank (The Citibank Building)
