Television and movie writers declared late Monday that they will launch a strike for the first time in 15 years, as Hollywood girded for a walkout with potentially widespread ramifications in a fight over fair pay in the streaming era.
In a statement, the AMPTP said that it was prepared to improve its offer"but was unwilling to do so because of the magnitude of other proposals still on the table that the guild continues to insist upon.
The status of daytime talk shows, which lean more into host chats and interviews, is less certain. ABC's"The View" was uninterrupted during the last strike in 2007-08. The stakes and pay Streaming and its ripple effects are at the center of the dispute. The guild says that even as series budgets have increased, writers' share of that money has shrunk.
AMPTP leaders say their priority is"the long-term health and stability of the industry" and they are dedicated to reaching"a fair and reasonable agreement."
