WGA Members Uphold Vote to Expel Two Members for Strike Violations, but Rescind Censure Over Facebook Joke
The WGA membership voted to expel Roma Roth and Edward Drake for breaking rules during the strike, but rescinded a public rebuke of Tim Doyle.
On a 62%-38% vote, the members rejected the public censure of Tim Doyle, who had faced a charge of conduct “prejudicial to the welfare of the Guild” for making an off-color joke. The members also narrowly upheld discipline of Julie Bush, a writer accused of submitting a “scab script” to a non-signatory company during the strike. In a statement on Friday, Roth said she found it “disappointing” that WGA board members “decided to send out mass emails during the voting round to tip the scale in their favor and unfairly influence what was supposed to be a fair appeals process.”
