The WGA decried “public dissection” of its meetings with Hollywood's biggest studios on Friday.
the contentious relationship between the WGA and AMPTP was easing. But following the confab, which was at the request of AMPTP president, the WGA told members that “the AMPTP playbook continues” and that discussion of “fundamental issues” was rejected at that meeting. “Rest assured,” the WGA said last week, "this committee does not intend to leave anyone behind, or make merely an incremental deal to conclude this strike.
According to a statement from the WGA issued on August 4, one of the topics the AMPTP insisted on discussing was “press blackouts,” and though that didn't happen after that meeting, it looks like the AMPTP got their wish for the latest summit. Instead, members were told that “more progress can be made in negotiations when they are conducted without a blow-by-blow description of the moves on each side and a subsequent public dissection of the meaning of the moves.
But while talks have resumed between the WGA and the AMPTP, there's still the actors' strike to contend with. SAG-AFTRA Until both sides have a deal, Crabtree-Ireland says that picketing will continue at studios and streaming companies. “It’s something that strengthens both unions’ efforts," he said. "We’ve been out here since day one of the writers' strike, and we’re all in this together to ultimately win a fair deal.”Your Negotiating Committee received a counterproposal from the AMPTP today. We will evaluate their offer and, after deliberation, go back to them with the WGA’s response next week.
