Writers’ Strike Update: WGA Bolsters PR Support

From Variety:

The Writers Guild of America has retained veteran Democratic political consultants Bill Carrick and Kam Kuwata to provide assistance on the strategic and PR fronts of the 8-week-old strike. “We both have friends in the WGA,” Kuwata told Daily Variety. “And we have landed a lot of times on the sides that are pro-labor.”

For more details, our sister blog FishbowlNY has a copy of WGA President Michael Winship’s membership letter, sent on 12/23.
