Reports are that the WGA is reviewing a new propsoal from the AMPTP that was offered earlier today, with a response possible on Sunday.
-led WGA Negotiating Committee reportedly worked to finalize details before legal reps began working up the new agreement."The intention was always to wrap this up by the weekend. That was the desire on both sides of the table,"If the rumblings eventually turn out to be true and a tentative deal is in play, then it would need to be approved by the WGA's membership.
After that, there's the matter of setting when writers can return to work, and that side of the entertainment business can get back to normal. But that's just the first step, with the AMPTP now needing to negotiate a new three-year with SAG-AFTRA – a union that comes to the table with its own concerns. And all of this is taking place as the unofficial deadline of October 1st to keep from impacting the upcoming television season looms closer.
