WGA Health Fund: $82M Deficit, Looming Negotiations
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
The Writers Guild of Americas health fund has experienced a significant financial decline, losing one hundred twenty-two million dollars over the past two years due to rising costs and a slowdown in work, particularly during the two thousand twenty-three strike. The fund accumulated another forty million dollar deficit in two thousand twenty-four. The upcoming Writers Guild negotiations will focus on increasing employer contributions to the health plan, as the current financial situation is worse than in two thousand seventeen. Employers anticipate a six point seven percent increase in health costs for two thousand twenty-six, adding complexity to the negotiations. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has expressed willingness to work with the Guild on finding balanced solutions.
