The WGA West accused its own staffers on Tuesday of engaging in violence and intimidation on picket lines, and said it would not negotiate further as the staff strike hit 71 days.

In a memo to members, the top officers of the guild said that picketers had called writers “scabs” for crossing a line to negotiate their studio contract, had hit guild staff with picket signs, and even come to the home of Ellen Stutzman, the guild’s executive director.
