Hollywood Writers Stand Firm as Studios Counteroffer in Ongoing Strike

Striking Hollywood writers are expected to respond to the latest contract proposal from major studios this week, potentially signaling progress in the months-long labor dispute. The Writers' Guild of America (WGA) negotiating team is reviewing the proposal, which includes concessions on the use of artificial intelligence and sharing access to viewer data. Talks may resume this week after a 100-day hiatus. The strike, which began on May 2, revolves around compensation, minimum staffing in writers' rooms, residual payments, and other issues.
