If you thought the Writers Guild of America was going to be playing nice heading into tomorrow’s meeting between WGA Chief Negotiator Ellen Stutzman and AMPTP boss Carol Lombardini – you really might want to think again.
In a flag planting statement put out this afternoon, the WGA Negotiating Committee slammed the studios and streamers for playing games, spreading disinformation and using the same old “tired playbook” in labor relations.
The email sent out to members, many of whom have been on picket lines since May 2, bluntly said: “We won’t prejudge what’s to come. But playbooks die hard.”
