The Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) is a labor union representing writers in film, television, radio, news, and online media.
The WGAE and the Writers Guild of America West (WGAW), though independent entities, jointly brand themselves together as the Writers Guild of America (WGA), and cooperate on activities such as launching coordinated strike actions, and administering both the Writers Guild of America Awards and the WGA screenwriting credit system. The WGAE is an affiliate of the AFL–CIO and the International Affiliation of Writers Guilds.
