Hollywood may be on its way to returning to business as a major breakthrough has been made in the industrywide strike.
Union leaders told writers Tuesday night they plan to head back to the negotiating table this week after communication between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers broke down at the beginning of May, the Hollywood Reporter reported. The meeting is scheduled for Friday.WGA sent an email to members on Tuesday, saying AMPTP President Carol Lombardini requested a meeting with the union to resume contract negotiations.
“We’ll be back in communication with you sometime after the meeting with further information,” the email said. “As we’ve said before, be wary of rumors. Whenever there is important news to share, you will hear it directly from us.”The update comes as the strike entered its third month this week.
So far, it appears SAG-AFTRA won’t be a part of this week’s discussion, but an AMPTP spokesperson said, “We remain committed to finding a path to mutually beneficial deals with both unions.”
