That’s because many of the payments writers have historically profited from on the back end - like syndication and international licensing - have been largely phased out by the onset of streaming. The guild is seeking more compensation for writers up front. But writers say they’re making less than they used to while working under more strained conditions.

Streaming has exploded the number of series and films that are annually made, meaning more jobs for writers.

Writers say their pay isn’t keeping pace with inflation, TV writer rooms have shrunk too much and the old calculus for how residuals are paid out needs to be redrawn. The writers last month voted overwhelming to authorize a strike, with 98% of membership in support. The trade association said in a statement that it was prepared to improve its offer “but was unwilling to do so because of the magnitude of other proposals still on the table that the guild continues to insist upon.”Ī shutdown has been widely forecast for months.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios and productions companies, said it presented an offer with “generous increases in compensation for writers as well as improvements in streaming residuals.” In Los Angeles, writers plan to demonstrate outside the offices of Walt Disney Co., Netflix, Amazon, Universal, Warner Bros., Paramount, CBS and Sony.

USR decided on Saturday to go to the negotiations with PLUS for the lists of candidates in the local elections with the ratio of 3 to 1, that is three USR candidates to one from PLUS, USR sources told G4Media.ro. The logic behind the explanation seems to be that such negotiations would undermine the credibility of the alliance. In order to explain the change in plans, Dacian Ciolos explained to G4Media.ro that he insisted on “sending a public signal for the merger with USR in order to avoid any doubts and interpretations, after information circulated in media about the negotiations on how the two parties will be represented on the lists for the local elections.
USR president Dan Barna confirmed at that time the merger calendar. The decision marks the acceleration of the merger process, after PLUS leader Dacian Ciolos said in an interview on January 21 that the merger is scheduled for after the parliamentary elections (expected this autumn), because the alliance is currently focusing on the local and parliamentary elections.
