Hollywood Writers To Assess New Studio Labor Offer Amid Strike

Following a three-month strike, the union representing striking writers says it is examining a new labor proposal from Hollywood studios. The counterproposal was received by the Writers Guild of America on Friday from the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, which represents the studios.

According to a note distributed to WGA members Friday evening, the union will assess the offer and reply next week after deliberation.

The writers went on strike on May 2 after failing to reach an agreement with the studios in contract negotiations. The Screen Actors Guild joined them on strike in July.

According to the note, the writers’ union advised members to continue showing up at picket lines while it considers the idea.

The current development represents some progress after a meeting last week between the AMPTP and WGA ended concluded without an agreement to resume talks. Major studios reported higher-than-expected earnings in the second quarter, owing in part to cast saving associated with not developing new projects.

“As far as I’m concerned, this strike should end as soon as possible, and what we need is for the companies to come back to the table”, said SAG AFTRA chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.

“Them talking to the Writers Guild is great. I am looking forward to them talking to us and us all finding this path forward so we can bring the strike to an end”, SAG AFTRA chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland added.
