As striking writers rekindled talks with Hollywood studios, the Writers Guild of America says it received a counterproposal from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
The committee urged members in the meantime to continue their presence on picket lines, along with members of the striking SAG-AFTRA actors' union.Friday's resumption of talks was the first glimmer of hope in three months of a possible break in the labor stalemate that has essentially shut down production and brought the entertainment industry to a halt.
On Wednesday, the WGA marked the 100th day of its strike -- matching the duration of the union's last walkout in 2007-08. Last Friday, WGA leaders met with AMPTP leadership to discuss a possible resumption of talks. According to the WGA, that discussion showed the two sides remain far apart on several key issues, including success-based residuals for streaming content.
Writers are also asking for minimum staffing levels for television writing rooms, safeguards around AI technology and more."The pain is real. I have a family to support. I have parents that I help take care of. So I'm feeling it but I'm also not going anywhere," said WGA member Linda Patel.Copyright © 2023 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
