Writer Strike-Back in talks?
It seems that the negotiating table has attendees. What will bedetermined from the negotiations will either be a settlement or an out right steam role of power.
I have read in the LA Times that the renewal of contracts will be apart of the deal:
"The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said late Friday that they would resume talks Nov. 26 on a new contract for 10,500 writers to replace the one that expired Oct. 31. The two sides announced the plan in identical statements, a rare show of unity. "
A rare show of Unity or is "this Article", contain droplets of facts and hopeful fiction?
I need to understand, what happens to the writers who do not get their contracts renewed? What are the terms of these contracts? When the Chiefs at the Major Studios and up in corporate make the call, what will be affected, who will gain, and who will lose? If these negotiations contrinue on, I am afraid, my girlfriend is going to ask me another questions that I have to answer. No honey that is an old episode of Jay Leno, take some time off from work and you will see that britany spears has all her hair, and Christina Aguilera is not popuar as B-spears.
However take a look at this article, I pulled this off of the united Hollywood Blog this may bring you more Insight as to how things are being handled:
(Breaking news from the WGA - the AMPTP has agreed to come back to the table on November 26th. Now, let's hope they are prepared to make a fair deal. This is progress. Everyone wants to go back to work. Everyone wants fair compensation for their work.)
