Disney's Demand for Showrunners During Writers Strike Sparks Controversy.

TL;DR Summary
Disney has sent a letter to showrunners reminding them that they are still expected to perform their contractually obligated non-writing services, despite the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. The letter states that showrunners and writer-producers are required to perform duties that may not be in line with the guidance provided by the WGA to its striking members. The WGA strike rules prohibit union members from performing these activities during the 2023 work stoppage, putting showrunners and writer-producers in a difficult position.
