Strikewatch

Just in case you need a little extra help soiling up the pants on your writers’ strike costume, here’s the best of the public communication resulting from yesterday’s “bargaining” session. From the WGA: “We have no intention of discussing the producers’ rollback proposals. Not now, not ever. The producers asked to take Tuesday off to caucus.” And says the Alliance: “Don’t confuse process with progress. While we actually met today for the first time in 5 days, the WGA leadership again failed to address the producer’s proposals. The WGA leadership dismissed the withdrawal of the producer’s recoupment proposal as insignificant despite their claim that this was a major impediment to reaching an agreement. The WGA leadership has yet to make any movement on its own or the producer’s proposals.” Happy Tuesday! [WGA.org, AMPTP.org]
