The WGA is officially on strike against Village Roadshow Entertainment Group after the production company stiffed multiple writers.

On Saturday, the union announced the stop work order, prohibiting members from business with The Matrix franchise and Mad Max Fury Road banner under Working Rule 8.

“It has come to the Guild’s attention that over the last few months Village Roadshow hasn’t paid writers on numerous projects. Village Roadshow owes writers compensation, interest, and benefit contributions but has refused to pay. As such, the Guild has determined that Village Roadshow is not reliable or financially responsible and requires the posting of a bond to protect writers. Village Roadshow has, to date, refused to do so,” WGA leadership announced in a memo. “As a result, Village Roadshow is on the WGA strike list until further notice.”

Signed by President Meredith Stiehm, Vice President Michele Mulroney and Secretary-Treasurer Betsy Thomas, the letter encouraged those currently employed or recently approached by Village Roadshow to speak with the WGA’s legal department.
