The vote was 7,882 in favor of creating a new “Code of Conduct” for agents representing WGA with 392 voting against — that’s more than 95% supporting. The new rules require elimination of agencies receiving packaging fees and having ownership interest in affiliate production companies — demands that the agencies have said are not feasible.

I dont know why but anytime I hear anything that connect talent to any sort of agency, I become really doubtful. And that is because of the corruption and exploitation that are associated with talent agencies.
Managers are almost always ready to force their clients to do things even if they are not consistent with the talent of the client, only so that the manager could get some extra profits, which just seems like an ethical violation to me.
In addition to these managers, the firms that they work for, who should technically regulate their employees, tend to further encourage such behavior.
It is because of all this that I slightly relieved to read this article because it attempts to create some regulation in the functioning of these talent agencies without actually causing any disturbance for the talent harbors and letting them reach their complete ability by using their real talents.
