I think there's some bad information here. To the best of my knowledge, the Writers Guild of America does not represent "Broadway writers."
What are "Broadway writers" anyway? Generally a play or musical is written by a playwright -- right? Or something is taken from a book. The closest I can come between the two is a play or musical that is taken from a movie. Even those are written by authors or the like. Right?
It's not like Broadway shows premiere or are updated weekly.
The WGA represents entertainment, news and new media writers.
And, by the way, it appears the Writers Guild may strike CBS News soon.
ETA: Broadway Stagehands (and many TV stagehands as well) are represented by IATSE, The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, not the Writers Guild.
In addition, even the name of this thread is incorrect. This is not a "Hollywood" writers strike. The Writers Guild West, and The Writers Guild East -- collectively called The Writers Guild -- are both on strike.
