The Writers Guild of America is expected to meet in the coming days with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, amid rising hopes for a resolution of the three-month strike.The AMPTP delivered proposals that touched on all of the guild’s major issues, according to sources familiar with the talks, including some that had been characterized as non-starters.
The studios also addressed the guild’s demand for greater transparency on viewership data on streaming platforms, though the studio proposal would not tie compensation to that data. Bloomberg was first to report that provision. The WGA strike began on May 2, with some 11,500 writers asking studios for increases in pay and provisions that would preserve the writers’ room from cost-cutting, among other issues.
The negotiations resumed on Friday on the 102nd day of the strike. On the picket lines on Monday, several writers expressed cautious optimism about the progress of negotiations.
