The Writers Guild of America West has publicly announced disciplinary action against six members for alleged unauthorized work during the union’s 2023 strike, as well as one additional member for an alleged violation of the Guild constitution.

Four of those disciplined, which the WGAW named in a memo to members Friday, are appealing the decision.

Julie Bush, Tim Doyle, Edward Drake and Roma Roth are all pushing back against the union board’s disciplinary rulings, which were determined via hearings before five-member trial juries. Bush, Drake and Roth are accused of writing during the strike.

Bush, whose credited as a consulting producer on Manhunt, has been suspended from the guild until next year and has been barred for life from holding non-elected guild office after being found guilty of violating Working Rule 8 and writing for a non-signatory company during the strike. Drake was expelled for allegedly writing during the strike and “failing to cooperate” with the Strike Rules Compliance Committee. Roth, an executive producer of Sullivan’s Crossing and Virgin River, has also been expelled for writing for a non-signatory company during the strike.

Last Man Standing showrunner Doyle’s discipline is in regards to a Facebook post that the union called “racist and offensive depiction of a lynching.” Deadline previously reported on this matter, when Doyle was censured last year.

Deadline has reached out to Bush, Drake and Roth for comment. Representatives for Doyle could not be reached.

Under Guild rules, disciplined members are offered the opportunity to appeal the board’s decision to the membership at large. Members in good standing will vote to decide whether to uphold the disciplinary action or adopt “an alternative action proposed by the appellant,” as the Guild states.

WGAW members will be able to vote on the four appeals online from 10 a.m. PT on May 6 until 2 p.m. PT on May 9.
