Writers Guild of America




The Writers Guild of America is the joint efforts of two different US labor unions representing TV and film writers:



  • The Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE), headquartered in New York City.

  • The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW), headquartered in Los Angeles.



Common activities


The WGAE and WGAW negotiate contracts in unison as well as launch strike actions simultaneously:



  • 1960 Writers Guild of America strike

  • 1981 Writers Guild of America strike

  • 1985 Writers Guild of America strike

  • 1988 Writers Guild of America strike


  • 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike

    • Effect of the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike on television, a list of television shows affected by the strike



Although each Guild runs independently, they perform some activities in parallel:




  • Writers Guild of America Award, an annual awards show with simultaneous presentations on each coast


  • WGA screenwriting credit system, determines how writers' names are listed during the credits


  • WGA script registration service, online services to prove when scripts were written and by whom


  • International Affiliation of Writers Guilds (IAWG), both Guilds belong to this international labor federation

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
