in an April 15 letter to AMPTP president Carol Lombardini, saying that the guild was “prepared to agree” to the contract extension and to the bargaining timeline if the Health Fund trustees agreed to extend coverage eligibility.

Lombardini, who had originally proposed the June 30 extension – the WGA wanted to extend the contract into September – responded to Young in an April 17 letter, saying that “The AMPTP appreciates the WGA’s agreement with the AMPTP’s proposed extension of the Minimum Basic Agreement until June 30, 2020. The AMPTP also agrees with the WGA’s proposal to exchange proposals on May 1, 2020 and toon May 11, 2020.

She told Young, however, that she’ll have to have “further internal discussions with regard to the entirely separate matter of writers’ health coverage which you referenced in your letter and will respond once those discussions have concluded. In the meantime, I look forward to starting what will hopefully be a productive and successful negotiation.”
