WME Offers Updated Proposal to Writers Guild Amid Standoff

hollywoodreporter.com:

WME, the lone major Hollywood talent agency that has yet to make a deal with the Writers Guild of America to represent scribes since a standoff began 20 months ago, says it has submitted a new proposal to union leadership. “WME has updated the terms of our proposal and submitted it to the WGA in a good-faith effort to jumpstart our discussions.

We want to find a way forward with the Guild and return to representing our writer-clients,"a spokesperson for the Beverly Hills-based firm said Tuesday.

The agency rep added: "We are willing and available to meet with the Guild as soon as possible, including over the holidays, in order to reach a resolution." A spokesperson for the Writers Guild did not immediately reply to a request for comment..
