The guild, which represents about 12, 000 Hollywood writers, wants residual compensation, while theAllianceofMotionPicture and TelevisionProducers argues that the online arena is still too new to establish any kind of payment formula.
On Wednesday, theAllianceofMotionPicture and TelevisionProducers called on the Writers Guild to extend the current deal, allowing them time to revamp the now-outdated compensation system, particularly as it pertains to the residuals structure.
After four weeks on the picket lines, the Writers Guild of America has received a new proposal from theAllianceofMotionPicture and TelevisionProducers.
