Negotiations between the major entertainment studios and the union representing tens of thousands of actors have collapsed, with both sides saying Thursday morning that they remained far apart on the most significant issues.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which bargains on behalf of the studios, said it was suspending talks because they were 'no longer moving us in a productive direction' after a session Wednesday.
Screenwriters recently returned to work after a 148-day walkout. The last time both unions had been on strike at the same time was 1960. When negotiations between the actors union and the studios resumed last week -- just days after the studios and screenwriters had reached a tentative agreement -- it represented the first time the sides had met since the actors went on strike July 14.
