The 1981 Writers Guild of America strike was a 3-month strike action taken to establish compensation in the then-new markets of "pay TV" and home video by 8,500 Writers Guild of America members.[1] The strike lasted 92 days, beginning on April 11, 1981, and ending on July 12, 1981. While the release of theatrical movies was mostly unaffected due to production companies stockpiling scripts,[2] most scripted television series started much later than originally planned. The strike resulted in renegotiated wages towards writers, actors, and directors.[3][4]
