WGA reveals the Hollywood studios responded to the union's demand with a counterproposal.
On Wednesday, the WGA marked the 100th day of its strike -- matching the duration of the union's last walkout in 2007-08.
In a message to WGA members late week, negotiators said the studios appeared willing to increase some compensation levels and were at least "willing to talk" about the use of artificial intelligence. The impact of the current walkout is expected to be far worse, with the WGA now joined by actors on the picket lines for the first double-barreled strike to hit Hollywood in 63 years. The SAG-AFTRA actors union went on strike July 14.
The union is also calling for industry standards on the number of writers assigned to each show, increases in foreign streaming residuals and regulations preventing the use of artificial intelligence technology to write or rewrite any literary material.
