Hollywood Labor Cliffhanger Kept Dangling
Posted by iTVX Staff on July 3rd, 2008
Hollywood’s latest labor cliffhanger will dangle unsettled for at least several more days.
The major film studios and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) met on Wednesday to discuss the “final” contract offer presented to the union earlier this week, just before their old labor pact expired, but the session ended inconclusively.
In brief, low-key statements, the two sides said their four-hour meeting amounted to a question-and-answer session about the 43-page proposal issued by the studios when long-stalled talks broke off on Monday.
“SAG asked for more time to study our final offer and indicated it will contact the producers on Monday,” said the studios’ bargaining agent, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
