Writers Guild members “are preparing to picket studio headquarters and production sites in the event the AMPTP refuses to make a deal that fairly addresses the concerns of our members,”…
Guild leaders have stressed that previously “a strike is not a guaranteed outcome for this year’s negotiation. And we do not want one. What we want is to be paid fairly for creating a product that earns massive profits for the companies. And we want protections that allow us to build a stable career and a stable life.”
The AMPTP, meanwhile, has said: “We are all partners in charting the future of our business together and fully committed to reaching a mutually beneficial deal with each of our bargaining partners. The goal is to keep production active so that all of us can continue working and continue to deliver to consumers the best entertainment product available in the world.” But as these signs of the time show, the guild is ready to strike if a deal can’t be reached.
