This summer the WGA West found 64 percent of its female writers have experienced sexual harassment at work. Now there’s word that the guild is stepping up its efforts to curb workplace harassment among its membership with new workshops. According to Deadline, WGA West is hosting “a series of workshops to help members recognize what sexual harassment looks like — including its causes and impacts — and to develop prevention and response strategies.”

Organized by the union board’s Sexual Harassment Subcommittee and RAINN (the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network), the upcoming workshops will take place at the guild’s offices on October 27 at 10:30 AM; at the Intercontinental Century City on October 30 at 8:30 AM and 7 PM; and at the Beverly Hilton on November 8 at 8:30 AM and 7 PM.

“The workshop is so helpful beyond just sexual harassment — including how to set the tone of a writers’ room, how to address bullying, and how to support a victim of harassment,” WGA West board member Betsy Thomas (“My Boys,” “Whitney”) wrote on the guild’s website.

The workshops seem to be part of the “series of member conversations about standards for a successful writing room” the WGA West promised when it published its sexual harassment study in July. The guild explained, “By proscribing sexual and other harassment among writers, these standards would enable all the writers in the room to fully participate, rather than being alienated by treatment no one should have to experience.”

WGA West’s “guiding principle” on the subject of workplace harassment has been to “ensure a respectful culture with zero tolerance for bullying, harassment, and assault; we want a culture which enables victims to speak up in a safe way that takes their experiences seriously.”

This winter the guild issued a “Statement of Principles on Sexual Harassment,” promising a zero tolerance policy for harassers while still declining to revoke or bar membership based on criminal behavior.
