The Screen Actors Guild — American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, led by president Fran Drescher, have towed a hard line with the AMPTP, publicly criticizing studio executives and holding firm to their demands. The AMPTP said in a statement it remains “committed to finding a path to mutually beneficial deals with both unions.”CEO Bob Iger, may have helped push producers to seek resumption of talks with the writers.
