    • They would take a break equal to public schools being let out for the summer, at the same time schools let out for summer. They have much longer breaks now due to the writer’s union fighting to get longer seasonal breaks, as well as adding mid-season breaks.

        Season breaks have absolutely nothing to do with the WGA. In fact, short seasons are a significant problem for the union as writers were continuing to be held in exclusivity while having much less work.
