Sunday marks the fifth straight day of negotiations between the striking Writers Guild of America and studio representatives.
The so-called "Gang of Four" major studio bosses -- Netflix's Ted Sarandos, Disney's Bob Iger, Universal's Donna Langley and Warner Bros/Discovery's David Zaslav, were present at the negotiations Friday and have continued to participate in the negotiations.CNN reported that the four studio heads were no longer in the Sherman Oaks negotiating room by Saturday afternoon, possibly signaling that the major issues had been resolved.
Both unions are pushing for protections against the use of artificial intelligence and improvements in salary, particularly for successful streaming programs. "So, while the intransigence of the AMPTP structure is impeding progress, these behind-the-scenes conversations demonstrate there is a fair deal to be made that addresses our issues," according to the WGA negotiating team. "... We have made it clear that we will negotiate with one or more of the major studios, outside the confines of the AMPTP, to establish the new WGA deal.
The AMPTP, however, issued a statement of its own saying all of its members are committed to working within the alliance to reach a deal for all studios.The writers and producers are meeting once again Thursday to negotiate. This comes as WGA writers have picketed for nearly five months.
