Strike Rumors
Rumors:
- A board member on the negotiating committee told another member (also a strike captain) that they will be back to work by February 11.
- There have been reports that picketing was going to stop, nothing has been officially done or announced.
- A showrunner on the picket line was talking about how busy he is going to be getting in the next 10 days.
- Upper level exec’s at Warner Bros. and Dreamworks believe that there could be a settlement as early as Friday.
Even if the above is true, everything will still need to be put to vote. While the DGA deal was “closed” there has been no official paperwork yet. These things take time. The same will hold true for the WGA agreement if/when its comes to fruition.
The following, a supposed email sent to WGA members, may lend a little support to the above.
Dear Fellow Members:
We have decided to postpone our “large-scale” picket originally planned for tomorrow (Friday) at Time Warner Center.
We are continuing our schedule of smaller pickets at the late night and talk shows. And, we’ll be back to you soon regarding plans to reschedule a picket at Time Warner Center and/or other locations next week.
