Picket signs are being prepared to possibly hit the streets next week, but talks between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers appear to have taken a productive turn in the past 24 hours
-led AMPTP since talks started on March 20, the parties were gathering at the latter’s Sherman Oaks offices.As of now, with no details of the specifics of the AMPTP”s proposal or the counter the WGA put forth in response, the two sides are scheduled to meet again Friday. The two sides had been pretty far apart since the negotiations started March 20.
However, AMPTP yesterday put forth what qualifies to some as a “best and last” offer, as one insider described — though in negotiations like this that goalpost often moves. Having received a 97.5% strike authorization mandate from members earlier this month, WGA leadership could demand pencils down at 12:01 AM on May 2 after the current contract expires.
“There is movement, it’s a fluid situation but there is movement, and that is what there should be at this time,” one scribes source said with optimism late Thursday after the recent MPTP offer. That’s certainly a shift from the “gloomy” atmosphere a well-positioned industry source described as prevailing as recently as Wednesday afternoon.
