Striking WGA resumes negotiations with studios

Striking writers and Hollywood studios will return to the bargaining table Wednesday in hopes of making progress toward ending the work stoppage that began in early May.

"We have agreed and are working to schedule a meeting next week," according to the AMPTP. "Every member company of the AMPTP is committed and eager to reach a fair deal, and to working together with the WGA to end the strike." "So, while the intransigence of the AMPTP structure is impeding progress, these behind-the-scenes conversations demonstrate there is a fair deal to be made that addresses our issues," according to the WGA negotiating team. "... We have made it clear that we will negotiate with one or more of the major studios, outside the confines of the AMPTP, to establish the new WGA deal.
