Striking Screenwriters Dismiss New Proposals

From New York Times, 11.29.07
By MICHAEL CIEPLY

Striking screenwriters on Thursday night dismissed a new set of proposals from producers as “a massive rollback,” and called on their members to continue their walkout with fresh resolve despite a plan to continue talks on Tuesday.

In a move to end a nearly four-week-old strike by writers, Hollywood’s studios and networks — represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers — earlier in the day offered a new package of proposals that includes a revised offer for payments related to movies and shows distributed via new media. More.

Thanks Linda

It's so confusing and complicated-stay on strike or go back to work and they go back out with the actors-I sympathize with everyone but I still worry about the production assistants, drivers, maintenance workers, etc.-well at least the Broadway stagehands settled, even though the city lost the whole Thanksgiving holiday weekend-
