Strike Talks Move Ahead

Informal negotiations continue between striking film and television writers and the major Hollywood studios. The two sides have made progress on the key issue of walkout the amount paid to writers when their work is distributed online and through mobile devices, the Los Angeles Times reported. Still, there is distrust between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the Times said. If the two sides work out the outline of a new contract, formal talks to finalize a deal could begin soon, the Times reported. The writers began their strike Nov. 5, resulting in a shut down of television series production, loss of jobs and an estimated $1.6 billion hit to the region’s economy.
