It's not pointless because it'll save them a lot of headaches and idiotic executive schemes, for like, a decade or more.
I think the WGA contract is up for renegotiation every three years or so.

Three years would appear to be the standard, though of course a different length could obviously be negotiated by mutual consent.I think the WGA contract is up for renegotiation every three years or so.

Sometimes that lesser flexibility is desired, by one or both sides. For example my own union agreed to a 4 year contract, when 3 was the norm, because they were banking on the economic downturn lasting longer than the employer believed and the compensation was better than we could hope for, if the union was right. They were. We just went for a more standard 3 year term as we were working without a contract for the last year, the agreement is retroactive to July of last year, and we hope that the current Provincial Government will be tossed out in the next election. (I work for a public university)Yes, but doing so would create inflexibility in a very rapidly changing media landscape.

Depends on whether the writers think that a major AI breakthrough is just around the corner, I suppose. With how vehement they are about that clause, it would seem so.Sure, but I don't see a strong argument that this is one of those cases, for either side.

I welcome the new AI Writers. They can't be worse then the current people writers.
