West, got right to the point in her remarks Sunday at the guild’s 2023 award ceremony. With contract negotiations less than two weeks aways, Stiehm rallied the troops about the need for solidarity, and she emphasized the guild’s role as serving as the “good sheriff” helping to tame the Wild West for writers.
“The guild with its superior stuff set that right and Netflix paid that $42 million,” she said. “We stand up to people who aren’t playing fair. We’re not looking for a fight. But we’re not going to get rolled, either.” “Negotiations are coming. We writers need a sea change in our compensation. We cannot continue to be underpaid out of our very existence,” she said. “It’s possible it could get a little rough, a little rugged. But we have been there before. We know how to stick together. We’ve done it before. Sticking together is how we win. The point of the union is to stick together…. Solidarity is everything.”
