WGA, AMPTP Continue TalksThe WGA and studios have agreed to continue talks as they try to reach a contract and end the strike that began Nov. 5. Few details have leaked since negotiators reconvened Monday for the first time since the Nov. 5 start of the ongoing writers strike. But it appears most of the discussion in the three sessions held since then has amounted to how to take the next smallstep forward in seeking a compromise on new-media residuals. Before a recently instituted press blackout, the WGA blasted management offers on new media as too little and too late to prevent a writers walkout. There has been scant evidence of major new AMPTP proposals since then. On Oct. 28, writers worldwide held rallies in support of the WGA. |
