Without naming names, union officials said that executives at major studios had indicated their demands were reasonable and that a deal was there to be had. In a statement several hours later, the AMPTP dismissed the WGA’s claims.
The WGA message came in a memo from the writers guild’s negotiating committee to union members.
“We have made it clear that we will negotiate with one or more of the major studios, outside the confines of the AMPTP, to establish the new WGA deal,” the bargaining committee wrote. “There is no requirement that the companies negotiate through the AMPTP. So, if the economic destabilization of their own companies isn’t enough to cause a studio or two or three to either assert their own self-interest inside the AMPTP, or to break away from the broken AMPTP model, perhaps Wall Street will finally make them do it.”
