The latest round of negotiations between the WGA and the AMPTP is said to be wrapping up soon … with either an agreement to end the strike, or a signal to hit the picket lines again.<\/p>\n
Leadership from both parties — including a reported handful of high-profile CEOs from the major studios — have been hashing out a new deal over the past several days … which has crept into the weekend and into the wee hours of the night.<\/p>\n
As of Sunday, reports<\/strong> say the AMPTP has given WGA its “best and final” offer … a leaked line that hasn’t sat well with normie members — who are scoffing at the notion of that.<\/p>\n Basically, the WGA has to read all the fine print now and make sure they’re good with the terms the studio bosses are offering … and it sounds like the devil is in the details, as lawyers pore over the paperwork and go back and forth with union brass — who, of course, speak on behalf of countless individuals who are currently on strike from East to West.<\/p>\n A lot of the nitty gritty pertains to money, AI and more guaranteed writers in writer rooms — among other sticking points — but the idea that these terms from AMPTP are the best they can realistically do suggests they won’t come to the table for a while if WGA turns it down.<\/p>\n There’s also this … Yom Kippur — the holiest of Jewish holidays — is literally about to start come sundown Sunday … and many have reported the AMPTP wants an answer before then.<\/p>\n Considering it’s already past 6 PM PT right now … something tells us this baby is gonna get kicked down the road and dealt with another day. Don’t get us started on SAG-AFTRA … which is on its own strike right now, and which is anywhere near a deal either.<\/p>\n As the clock ticks, everyone’s waiting for a yay or nay … and it’s still crickets at this point.<\/p>\n![\"WGA](\"https:\/\/imagez.tmz.com\/image\/f8\/4by3\/2023\/05\/03\/f848eee9747f4686bb8f61eaa3846c43_md.jpg\")
