Film and TV stations are offering AI positions at $200,000 to $1 million annually while Hollywood writers have been on strike for more than three months.
offering higher compensation on Tuesday but the Writers Guild of America, which represents Hollywood writers, shut down the proposal only hours after the AMPTP released it to the public. The offer included a 5% increase in the wage rates in the first year of the contract, with a 4% increase in the second year and a 3.5% increase in the third year which was slightly lower than the WGA’s initial proposal of 6% in the first year and 5% in the second and third years.
”Our priority is to end the strike so that valued members of the creative community can return to what they do best and to end the hardships that so many people and businesses that service the industry are experiencing. We have come to the table with an offer that meets the priority concerns the writers have expressed. We are deeply committed to ending the strike and are hopeful that the WGA will work toward the same resolution.“This wasn’t a meeting to make a deal.
