More Side Deals Signed With WGA

The WGA has announced new interim agreements with The Film Department and Intermedia. wga-side-deals.JPGThe deals are similar to agreements the WGA recently reached with RKO Productions Inc, Lionsgate, Marvel Studios, Yari Film Group, Anonymous Content/Overt Operations, The Weinstein Company, United Artists, Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, Spyglass Entertainment, MRC, Jackson Bites, Mandate Films, and Worldwide Pants. This is all I can manage to post today.

  1. They seem to be doing pretty good with these interim agreements. Frack the AMPTP.

  2. Jesus, woman….take care of yourself. Don’t let all this ruin you physically as well. The strike will end — eventually. You don’t need to end with it. :)

  4. I know of a couple of companies who’ve requested waivers, but have been given the run around by the WGA. One of the companies is pretty irrelevant, but the other is quite high profile.

    People want to work and the WGA is playing Russian Roulette with these interim agreements.

  5. It’s news like this that almost makes me wonder if it might be better NOT to settle with the AMPTP.

    ;-)

    Feel better Nikki. Thanks.

  9. i still want to know, who gave the WGA the right to decide who shall work, and who shall not, a la their “interim deals”…these people think they wield too much power. bottom line..because of the WGA’s selfish, greed, the rest of this community is out of work, with no recourse and nothing to gain from the negotiations.. i dont have nor ever have had, sympathy for the striking writers. i wonder if the fact that most will lose their health benefits sped the process along…welcome to our :”below the line” world

  10. The reason btls have such poor wages and benefits is because their union sucks, as in sucks up to the AMPTP, so you choose to blame us for your problems and support the producers who screw you over? Sorry, but we’re not going to make shitty deals to be in “solidarity” with workers who take it up the ass, giggle happily, and beg for more. Grow a damn backbone already.
