		The absence of the WGA indicator on earlier credits should not be construed as a sign of unofficial status, merely a sign of age.
		When the film is finished shooting, the producer sends a notice to the guild and the writers proposing the writing credits.
		If any writer disagrees with those credits, or if the proposed credits require mandatory arbitration (e.g., a producer or director sharing a writing credit), a WGA arbitration committee reads all drafts of the script and various supporting materials and determines the actual/official credits.

		They contend they should therefore be eligible to join the Writers Guild, which represents the majority of the industry's scribes and receive the health, pay and pension benefits that they deserve.
