Much like the beginning of a Congressional hearing on a hot potato political topic, expectations for the first day of talks between the WGA and AMPTP were high, but largely began with formalities. …
The two sides came together in Sherman Oaks this morning around 11am with large swathes of the TV and film industry wondering what the outcome would be for the most highly anticipated contract talks in 15 years.
The initial conversations were described as “cordial” and “level-headed” with some highlighting a different negotiating style from Ellen Stutzman, the WGA West’s assistant director, who has subbed in from David Young, who is on medical leave. “At the end of these two weeks, around the beginning of April, we will be coming back to you with a report on the status of negotiations, and on what next steps we believe are necessary before our contract expiration date on May 1,” she said. “Until then, we ask for your patience and thank you for trusting us to fight for all of us.”
