Writers Guild Branches Sue Each Other
From a Times Staff Writer
The two branches of the Writers Guild of America are suing each other over whether arbitration is required to address their ongoing money dispute.
In court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, the WGA, West, said union rules required arbitration over its claim that it was subsidizing the WGA, East, by more than $1 million.
The eastern group, which has termed the financial demands a shakedown, claimed that arbitration was not required in its lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in New York.
