The AMPTP member companies are aligned and are negotiating together to reach a resolution.
Any suggestion to the contrary is false.

Every member company of the AMPTP wants a fair deal for writers and actors and an end to the
strikes, which are affecting not only our writer and actor colleagues, but also thousands of
others across the industry.

That is why the AMPTP has repeatedly put forward offers that address major priorities of the
WGA, including a last round of offers on August 17th and 18th. [See below] On many issues, AI
among them, we are close. Our AI proposal has provided clear guarantees that the use of AI will
not affect writers’ pay, credit or separated rights. We have asked the WGA to identify any
remaining holes in the AI offer and it has not responded.

On the important topic of mandatory staffing, the WGA has remained entrenched in its original
position, except for a single modest change in its position on staffing in development rooms.
The WGA has achieved substantial gains for its members during this negotiation process and
holds the power to move this negotiation forward by responding to the AMPTP’s most recent
offers on key issues. The AMPTP, including all its member companies, remains eager to reach
resolution.
