Negotiators for the striking Writers Guild of America and studio representatives were planning to meet again Sunday to continue work “in the final phase” of contract talks to potentially end a monthslong strike that’s crippled the entertainment industry.
and studio representatives were planning to meet again Sunday to continue work"in the final phase" of contract talks to potentially end a monthslong strike that's crippled the entertainment industry.
The so-called"Gang of Four" major studio bosses -- Netflix's Ted Sarandos, Disney's Bob Iger, Universal's Donna Langley and Warner Bros/Discovery's David Zaslav, were present at the negotiations Friday for the third consecutive day. Writers, who went on strike May 2, were joined on the picket line in July by the SAG-AFTRA actors' union. There have been no known contract talks between the studios and SAG-AFTRA since that strike began.
With negotiations seemingly stalled earlier this month, the WGA negotiating team issued a statement suggesting that some traditional Hollywood studios should break ranks with the AMPTP and reach a deal directly with the writers' union. The WGA suggested it has spoken with some studio executives who believe a deal could be quickly struck.
