The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers has offered the Writers Guild of America more than they were asking for in terms of their ailing health plan.
An individual with knowledge of the negotiations told TheWrap that the WGA was asking for $85 million for the ailing health plan, but AMPTP offered to increase employer contributions during Sunday’s negotiations. This is up from their previousย offer of $60 million. The individual did not disclose a precise amount.
Talks will resume Monday before the current contract expires on Tuesday.
WGA and AMPTP began negotiating a new contract in early March, but those talks were discontinued March 24 when agreement could not be reached, and the WGA’s negotiating committee called for a strike authorization vote.
