WGA Slams AMPTP for Lecturing Instead of Negotiating with Strikers

Negotiations between the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) broke down as the AMPTP released a counteroffer after a week of back-and-forth. The WGA accused the AMPTP of using a tactic to convince the public that the WGA is prolonging the strike unreasonably. While the counteroffer includes some concessions, the WGA stated that it does not sufficiently address the underlying issues that led to the strike. The WGA plans to release a full statement on the counteroffer's failings and continue their labor power demonstration on the picket lines.
