No surprise here: AMPTP doesn't think much of WGA's bid for individual bargaining seshes with AMPTP member concerns:
Here's the response statement from AMPTP spokesman Jesse Hiestand:
"This is merely the latest indication that the WGA organizers are grasping for straws and have never had a coherent strategy for engaging in serious negotiations. The AMPTP may have different companies with different assets in different businesses, but they are all unified in one common goal -- to reach
an agreement with writers that positions everyone in our industry for success in a rapidly changing marketplace."



The expression is "grasping AT straws", Jesse, honey. Maybe you need a writer.
