The writers and producers have not been making much progress as of late but they are trying to at least keep the negotiating going. They are trying to put together a new contract to replace the one which is set to expire on October 31st. Hollywood studios are getting ready for what could be the first writers strike in almost two decades.

Producers have put out a package of proposals they have changed a bit to try and appeal to the demands of the writers.
Nick Counter, president of the alliance, stated that “It is incumbent on each party to fine the common ground which will result in an agreement.”

Counter represents the studios and television networks. John F. Bowman, chairman of the Writers Guild of America state dthat the package had “minor adjustments to major rollbacks.” He stated that he wants producers to “engage with us on the issues that matter in this negotiation.”

With six-days remaining, it is time to either get serious or get ready for a strike in Hollywood.
