The Writers Guild of Canada is facing backlash over its diversity and inclusion efforts
After the Writers Guild of Canada took to social media to show support for the Black Lives Matter movement, the Canadian screenwriters union has had to defend its policies on diversity and inclusion.
On June 19, the WGC also responded via its Twitter account to the apparent ex-staffer's criticisms by insisting it took workplace allegations seriously. "We are committed to taking any and all measures necessary to ensure that the guild is a fair, safe and inclusive environment for all," the union added.
"I don't know why people are feeling a need to attack their guild on Twitter. We are a professional organization, a union. We're not a political organization. We're run by a council of volunteers and employed staff. There's no hidden agenda here," Parker said.
Parker also touted an online membership directory created by the WGC to help producers and showrunners connect with talent that have self-identified as being from a diverse community. "It's a searchable data base for divers[e] writers that hooks them up with work," she explained.
