https://x.com/pmiscove/status/1700277090015166918?s=61&t=z0DUybrXydmOyoZebVYIwA Hmmmm! They want to ditch the AMPTP and negotiate with the studio CEOs instead? Not a bad idea to be perfectly honest. The AMPTP are hopeless anyway.
AMPTP says no to negotiating with individual studios. The studios are "all aligned". Ball is back in WGA's court to respond.
"The WGA strike has been underway for 130 days, and the two sides have not met in the negotiating room for three weeks. Each side has maintained that it’s up to the other to respond."

AMPTP Says Studios Are ‘Aligned’ and Pushes WGA to Respond to Latest Offer
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said Friday that the studios remain aligned as they seek an end to the four-month WGA strike.

This seems like a very bad idea. If you go on strike, you get Unemployment benefits paid by taxpayers?

WGA and SAG-AFTRA Push for Unemployment Benefits for Striking Workers
The WGA and SAG-AFTRA are pushing for a bill that would extend unemployment benefits to workers on strike.
variety.com
Oh, is that how it works? I thought payroll taxes paid by all workers funds state unemployment insurance budgets.
Regardless, it seems a very bad idea. If you go on strike, you get paid unemployment? The repercussions of that would seem to be extremely damaging to a state's ability to attract and retain employers. And it would discourage a fast and efficient negotiations process during any strike, further weakening a state's long term economy. A very bad idea when there are 49 other states that are individual laboratories of democracy to counter you with more pro-business environments.

That does seem to be a gutsy move.
But maybe she's like Billy Porter, and she's just behind on her mortgage and getting desperate?

I feel like being impatient again since there’s no second negotiations, the strike hasn’t ended, and the AMPTP are being stupid, greedy, and hopeless, but I’m trying my best to control it. I hope the negotiations is coming.
