The new writers strike update involves the Writers Guild of America slamming the latest update from the AMPTP.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - AUGUST 15: WGA and SAG-AFTRA members walk the picket line in the strike over contract negotiation at Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery offices on August 15, 2023 in in New York City. The latest writers’ strike update has been revealed.
The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May 2023, hoping for better streaming residuals and A.I. protections from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers . “On Monday of this week, we received an invitation to meet with Bob Iger, Donna Langley, Ted Sarandos, David Zaslav, and Carol Lombardini,” the WGA Negotiating Committee said in an email just sent out to members .
“It was accompanied by a message that it was past time to end this strike and that the companies were finally ready to bargain a deal,” the note adds. “We accepted that invitation and, in good faith, met tonight, in hopes that the companies were serious about getting the industry back to work.” “Instead, on the 113th day of the strike – and while SAG-AFTRA is walking the picket lines by our side – we were met with a lecture about how good their single and only counteroffer was. But this wasn’t a meeting to make a deal. This was a meeting to get us to cave, which is why, not 20 minutes after we left the meeting, the AMPTP released its summary of their proposals.”
“This was the companies’ plan from the beginning – not to bargain, but to jam us. It is their only strategy – to bet that we will turn on each other. Tomorrow, we will send a more detailed description of the state of the negotiations. And we will see you all out on the picket lines so that the companies continue to see what labor power looks like,” the letter concludes.It will end when the WGA and AMPTP come to an agreement. From the looks of things, this will not happen for a while.
