Four studio bosses attended at least some of the final negotiating sessions that led to a tentative contract deal with the Writers Guild of America union.
SAG-AFTRA strike Capt. and actor Brendan Bradley rallies a picket line as actors protests outside the Paramount Pictures Studio in Los Angeles, Tuesday, Sept. 26, 2023. and the major studios met for the first time since the actors union walked off the job in mid-July, talks are set to resume today in a bid to put Hollywood back in business.
While no details of that first negotiating session were made public, SAG-AFTRA leaders earlier Monday wrote in a social media statement, “Today, we go back to the bargaining table to fight for the contract you deserve. Keep turning out in full force on our picket lines and at solidarity events around the country. Let the AMPTP hear your voices loud and clear.”
It was unclear if the so-called “Gang of Four” studio executives —NBCUniversal’s Donna Langley, Warner Bros Discovery’s David Zaslav, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos and Disney’s Bob Iger — attended Monday’s talks at the SAG-AFTRA headquarters in the Mid-Wilshire area, or if any would attend Wednesday’s meeting.
The SAG-AFTRA talks represent the final hurdle to get the crippled film and TV industries up and running again. While negotiators for the WGA and the AMPTP worked to hash out their tentative deal, SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP had not had official before Monday.
