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 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]
