After 101 days of striking, it's back to the bargaining table for writers and studios.
The Writers Guild of America will resume contract talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers Friday, the first official negotiating session since the unionIn an email to its members, the WGA negotiating committee wrote that it was asked by AMPTP President Carol Lombardini to meet with AMPTP negotiators on Friday.
In a message to WGA members late week, negotiators said the studios appear willing to increase some compensation levels and are at least "willing to talk" about the use of artificial intelligence. The impact of the current walkout is expected to be far worse, with the WGA now joined by actors on the picket lines for the first double-barreled strike to hit Hollywood in 63 years. The SAG-AFTRA actors union went on strike July 14.
"This is calculated disinformation about the real impact of the ongoing strikes," according to the WGA statement. The AMPTP issued a statement in response, saying last Friday's discussion with the WGA was to "determine whether we have a willing bargaining partner. The WGA bargaining committee's rhetoric is unfortunate."
