Continues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By Dawn Chmielewski<\/p>\n<p>LOS ANGELES (Reuters) &#8211; Writers Guild of\u200c America (WGA) negotiators met on Friday with representatives of the major\u200c studios for the\u200d first time in a \u2064three-month strike by \u2062Hollywood writers to discuss \u200cwhether contract \u200ctalks can resume, but the guild said no agreement was reached.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\" style=\"min-width: 320px; min-height: 50px;  text-align: center;\">  \t<script>  \t\tgoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1'); });  \t<\/script>  <\/div>\n<div class=\"ad-slot__ad-label\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d WGA said in a statement to its members that the Alliance of Motion\u2063 Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which negotiates\u200c on behalf\u2062 of \u200bWalt Disney, Netflix, said it needed to consult with member studios before moving forward.\u200c <\/p>\n<p>The AMPTP did \u200dnot immediately issue a public \u200cstatement on\u200d the meeting, and it did not immediately respond to a \u200crequest for comment. <\/p>\n<p>The 11,500 members \u2062of the writers\u2019 guild walked out May 2, citing an impasse over pay, streaming \u200cresiduals and\u200c other issues such as setting\u200b curbs on\u200d the use of artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n<p>In its statement following Friday\u2019s meeting, the WGA said  the AMPTP \u200cwas willing to increase its\u200d offers on a \u201cfew writer-specific TV minimums\u2062 and talk \u2062about AI\u201d but did not indicate willingness to engage in screenwriters\u2019 issues and other proposals. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn addition to a comprehensive response from \u200cthe AMPTP\u200b on our proposals \u200cin all work areas, \u200cwe will need \u2063to \u2064address issues arising from the strike, including a health\u2062 care benefit extension \u2064and additional plan funding, reinstatement of striking writers, and arbitration of\u200b disputes \u200barising during the strike,\u201d the WGA said.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles \u2063Mayor Karen Bass said before the Friday meeting she was \u200cencouraged by the reopening of communication, as the\u2064 Hollywood \u200cwriters\u2019 and actors\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russian-strike-on-southern-ukraine-city-kills-grain-exporter\/\" title=\"Russian Strike On Southern Ukraine City Kills Grain Exporter\">dual strikes<\/a> negatively impact the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Members \u2062of the Screen Actors Guild also went\u200c on\u2063 strike on \u2063July 14 after being unable to reach an agreement with the studios \u200don a new \u200cthree-year contract. <\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 work\u200b stoppage is taking a toll on\u200c florists, caterers, costume suppliers and other small businesses\u200d that\u200b support the \u2063entertainment industry. <\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Friday\u2019s meeting, the writers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-agreement-between-striking-hollywood-writers-studios-on-resuming-talks-wga-says\/\" title=\"Hollywood writers and studios fail to reach agreement on talks resumption, says WGA.\">studios \u200cgroups \u2064 traded pointed statements<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>The WGA\u2019s negotiating committee said \u200dit\u2064 was time for the studios\u2064 to abandon the tactics \u200cthey used during the\u200d previous writers\u2019 strike in 2007-08, including allegedly \u200bspreading misinformation about the real impact of\u200b the\u2063 strike.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe challenge \u200bthe studios and AMPTP to come \u200bto the meeting \u200dthey called for this \u2063Friday with a new playbook,\u201d the WGA\u2064 said in an email. \u201cBe willing\u2062 to make a fair deal\u2062 and begin to repair the damage \u200dyour strikes\u200c and your business practices have\u2064 caused the workers\u200d in this industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The AMPTP called the WGA rhetoric \u201cunfortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTomorrow\u2019s discussion with the WGA is to determine\u2063 whether\u2063 we have a \u200dwilling bargaining partner,\u201d the AMPTP said in a statement, adding \u201cOur \u2063only playbook is getting people back to\u2062 work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the group \u2062said it \u200chad offered writers generous increases in compensation, and put \u2064forward improvements in the residuals paid to writers for making their movies and\u2062 TV shows available on streaming services.<\/p>\n<p>The twin job actions by writers and actors are rippling broadly through the entertainment industry, halting most \u2062work\u200d on scripted series for\u2062 the fall TV \u2063season as well as film production. <\/p>\n<p>Fox is expected to announce \u2064that \u200ctelevision\u2019s Emmy Awards will\u200d be rescheduled to \u2062air in January due to the \u200cstrikes, the\u200c Los Angeles Times \u200creported, citing a person\u2062 familiar with the \u200dplans.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Warner Bros \u2063Discovery warned investors Thursday that uncertainty over the\u200b dual strikes could \u2062delay film releases \u2064and impact its \u200cability to produce and deliver content.<\/p>\n<p>  (Reporting by\u2062 Dawn\u2063 Chmielewski in Los AngelesAdditional reporting by \u200dDanielle
