Hollywood scribes initiated a work stoppage in early May as negotiations broke down with studios including Disney, Paramount, Universal and Warner Bros. Discovery.
Talks between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers resumed last week after months of starts and stops.
The WGA and AMPTP are still drafting the final contract language.
TLDR: "Television and film writers sought protections against the use of artificial intelligence, in addition to increases in compensation for streamed content.
The WGA did not disclose what provisions ultimately made it into the preliminary contract, but told union members that “this deal is exceptional – with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.””
I’m sorry. I’ll believe it when I see it. I don’t trust undisclosed terms.
Yep, our union promised us great gains and it turns out we went on strike to gain nothing and people still voted for it.
The sad part is that they could have gotten everything and they’d still have less workers rights than in other developed countries.
