Talent agencies have come out swinging against Hollywood writers, accusing their guild of bad-faith negotiation as talks between the two sides appear to be headed for another stalemate.
The Writers Guild of America is locked in a contentious dispute with Hollywood talent agencies.
“This is not the way to get a deal done,” wrote the negotiating committee for the ATA, the trade group that represents talent agencies.The WGA issued a brief statement Tuesday afternoon: “The WGA plans to respond to the ATA proposal this week.” The ATA said guild negotiators led by President David Goodman didn’t ask any questions and left the room. After 2½ hours, the guild returned and indicated it would respond the following week. But no counteroffer has been made so far.
The two sides are also fighting over so-called affiliate production — a newer phenomenon in which agencies have entered the production business, in effect turning themselves into studios.
