Yes I agree that at times the writers guild can protect it's writers but there are other times when the writers get screwed. The process they have in place is obviously flawed because this has happened to many talented people in the industry that have done significant amounts of work on screenplays and received no credit whatsoever. The credit arbitration process is left in the hands of three "randomly chosen" WGA members who may or may not actually take the time to read the scripts, may or may not know the parties involved (even though the arbitration is supposed to be anonymous) and may or may not take their jobs seriously. Members of the WGA board even admit that the arbitration process needs to be looked at. Check out the original Lucas/Moore script and the final Philips/Garelick script and tell me who deserves the credit...I think you'll see it should have at the very least been shared.
