  3. Rights and Obligations of Animation Writers Caucus Members
    Animation Writers Caucus members shall receive all Guild mailings and communications, including The Journal or like publications and the Animation Writers Caucus Newsletter, the WGA Manual and its periodic updates; may serve on Animation Writers Caucus committees and certain Guild committees as designated by the Board of Directors; may use the Guild's Script Registration Service at the reduced rate for Guild members; may join the Guild's Film Society subject to availability in any given year as determined by the Board; may become members of the Inter-Guild Federal Credit Union or its successor subject to the discretion of that entity's governing body; may be entitled to participate, if otherwise eligible, in any employment access program administered by the Guild's Human Resources Department; and may be eligible for participation in the WGA alternative health plan through Foundation Health HMO.

However, Animation Writers Caucus members may attend membership meetings and vote on the issuance or withdrawal of restraining orders, but only when such member's legal commitment to render writing services or to sell or option literary material within the Guild's jurisdiction to a company signatory to an applicable WGA collective bargaining contract would be directly affected.
