President Colby Sends Statement of NWU Solidarity to Writers Guild - West President Verrone

Dear Brother Verrone:

The National Writers Union, UAW Local 1981, the nation’s only trade union dedicated to advocating for the rights and economic betterment of freelance writers, stands in solidarity with our brother and sister writers of the Writers Guild of America – West in your fight for writers’ rights and justice and a fair contract. Our union, too, knows of the injustice of Internet revenues bypassing the first creators of written works – the writers. We agree that it has been far too long that writers are denied their fair share of Internet revenues generated by their creations. We are hopeful that you will be victorious in this struggle.

In solidarity,

Gerard Colby

National Writers Union, UAW Local 1981
