The WGA & AMPTP will reportedly resume negotiations later today via Zoom, with the WGA expected to respond to the studios' counterproposal.
At the end of last week, the WGA confirmed to its membership that the AMPTP offered a counterproposal to their contract terms and that the WGA would be evaluating it a returning sometime this week to offer the AMPTP a response. Now,is reporting that the union and the studios are set to resume talks this afternoon. Reportedly, the meeting will be via Zoom and not in person – with the WGA expected to offer a counter to the AMPTP's counterproposal from Friday.
We have been advised by the WGA that this modification will assist them in executing their strike strategy, and we believe it does not undermine the utility and effectiveness of ours. It is a win-win change. This means that, going forward, for productions taking place in the USA, SAG-AFTRA will only grant Interim Agreements for non-WGA-covered projects. And our staff will continue to investigate each application for an Interim Agreement to ensure only true independent productions are included.
We created the Interim Agreements for several reasons, all of which are aimed at protecting the interests of our members and members of sister unions, so that journeymen performers and crew may continue to work and pay their bills while demonstrating to the AMPTP that independent producers are eager to work with our members under these terms. The strike action is evolving each day.
SAG-AFTRA continues to support the Writers Guild of America in its fight to achieve a fair and equitable contract. And we continue to urge independent producers to apply for an Interim Agreement and encourage SAG-AFTRA members to work on projects that obtain approval, along with all the other permissible work we support.Enjoyed this?
