As SAG-AFTRA members join writers on picket lines, the fallout will disrupt Hollywood film and TV productions worldwide. ‘There’s going to be blood in the water,’ said one analyst. ‘This will not end well.’“We expect the AMPTP to provide responses to WGA proposals,” the WGA negotiating committee said in its note to members.
Screenwriters have been walking picket lines since May 2, and there’s currently no end in sight. Actors also stopped work in mid-July, part of Los Angeles’ summer of labor strife. The two sides remain far apart on issues including the WGA’s demands for minimum staffing requirements in TV writers’ rooms and protections against artificial intelligence. Pressure has been mounting on studios to resolve the work stoppages,“Our committee returns to the bargaining table ready to make a fair deal, knowing the unified WGA membership stands behind us and buoyed by the ongoing support of our union allies,” the WGA negotiating commitee said.
