We are investigating claims on behalf of writers age forty (40) and over who were:
- rejected for writing opportunities by one or more networks, studios or production companies and believe that their rejection was based on age, in whole or in part;
- rejected for representation by one or more talent agencies and believe that their rejection was based on age, in whole or in part;
- deterred or discouraged from seeking writing opportunities with one or more networks, studios or production companies because they believe their efforts would have been futile as a result of age discrimination;
- deterred or discouraged from seeking representation with one or more talent agencies because they believed their efforts would have been unsuccessful as a result of age discrimination;
- received less zealous or effective representation from one or more talent agencies based on age, in whole or in part; and,
- received less favorable terms and conditions of employment (including compensation) compared to their younger writer colleagues from one or more networks, studios or production companies based on their age, in whole or in part.
We believe that companies that discriminate against older writers in any of these ways violate the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, similar state and/or local laws and provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Writers' Guild of America and the television industry. The primary purpose of this website at the present time is to provide writers with a means to assist counsel in investigating these allegations (see Questionnaire) and to answer common questions we have received from our writer clients and others. When a lawsuit is filed, the primary purpose of this website will be modified to inform all interested parties about the suit and its progress and to provide easy access to all public court filings and other relevant information, such as media coverage. We hope that you find it useful and informative.
