WGA and Studios Set to Resume Negotiations on Friday

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) will resume negotiations with the studios on Friday, with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) set to deliver a response to the guild's proposals. The ongoing strike, which has lasted for 101 days, centers around issues such as a viewership-based streaming residual, a minimum staffing level for TV writers rooms, and a guaranteed minimum number of weeks of work for TV writers. Both sides remain at odds, and the WGA has cautioned against false hopes and attempts to soften the union's resolve.

WGA Pushes for Minimum Staff Levels and Fair Compensation in Contract Talks.

The Writers Guild of America is proposing a minimum staffing level for TV writers rooms to ensure that studios are not squeezing more work out of fewer writers over a shorter time span and paying them less than they’re entitled to. The guild is also focused on raising minimum pay scales, improving residual formulas, and more esoteric subjects like raising the earnings cap on “span protection,” which would guarantee above-scale pay for high-income writers. The guild’s proposals would cost roughly $600 million a year in total — or, union officials say, about 2% of the major studios’ operating profits.
