Hollywood needs writers. Without them there wouldn't be any films and there wouldn't be any growth in creativity. So, why should the writers fight? One of the reasons was the distributor's gross.
The details are in great length, but I've included the link to the WGA site.

John August(Big Fish, Go, and The Nines) has an incredible blog for screenwriters:

plus he has tons of other information.
Here's another great site:
http://www.wordplayer.com/
it's run by Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot. You know, the guys behind Shrek. Excellent one too.
I believe that writer's are the bottom of the ladder in Hollywood while the Paris Hilton's reign supreme, writers slave in front of the page for months and sometimes years to create great scripts like China Town, Raging Bull and Casablanca.
Plus, in this digital age, its become more important that writers get their fare share.
Way to go WGA! Congratulations!
