WHERE WE STAND ...

Statement from AMPTP President Nick Counter:

Both sides continued to review and argue over the meaning of the information presented by each party.  The two sides are fundamentally apart as to what data is truly relevant to the negotiations dealing with productions covered by the WGA agreement and produced by signatory production companies.  Just as in 2004, the Guild has raised a number of red herrings and irrelevant financial information. We believe they should focus on trying to reach an agreement with the production companies represented at the bargaining table.  The parties agreed to meet again on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at the AMPTP.
