Writers Guild of America members at risk of losing their union health plan on Oct. 1 due to the strike will have their coverage extended through the end of 2023.
The extension, which came as part of the tentative agreement announced Sunday between the guild and studios, was announced in a memo sent to members of the Producer-Writers Guild of America Pension & Health Plan on Monday from WGA West assistant executive director Lise Anderson.
“Per the tentative agreement, WGA writers who are scheduled to lose PWGA health care coverage on 10/1/23 will be extended coverage for an additional quarter through 12/31/23.
