Striking Writers File Labor Complaint
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 13 -- Union officials representing striking Hollywood writers said Thursday they have filed an unfair labor practices complaint claiming studios violated federal law by breaking off negotiations.
The Writers Guild of America demanded in a statement that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers return to the bargaining table so the six-week strike can be resolved.
Negotiations broke off Dec. 7 when the alliance refused to bargain further unless the union dropped a half-dozen proposals, including the authority to unionize writers on reality shows and animation projects.
The "baseless, desperate NLRB complaint is just the latest indication that the WGA's negotiating strategy has achieved nothing for working writers," the alliance fired back in its statement.
The labor board did not immediately return a call to its Los Angeles office.
"It is a clear violation of federal law for the AMPTP to issue an ultimatum and break off negotiations if we fail to cave to their illegal demands," the guild's statement said. "We are in the midst of the holiday season, with thousands of our members and the membership of other unions out of work."
uh?? Where does it say it's illegal to walk out of negociations? Note to WGA: Throwing a temper tantrum and stomping your foot and demanding the Federal gov't to step in fight your battle isn't really impressive. What you were asking apparently was a violation of federal law . .

The National Labor Relations Act says it:
http://www.nlrb.gov/about_us/overview/national_labor_relations_act.aspx
Congress enacted the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") in 1935 to protect the rights of employees and employers, to encourage collective bargaining, and to curtail certain private sector labor and management practices, which can harm the general welfare of workers, businesses and the U.S. economy.
Experience has proved that protection by law of the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively safeguards commerce from injury, impairment, or interruption, and promotes the flow of commerce by removing certain recognized sources of industrial strife and unrest, by encouraging practices fundamental to the friendly adjustment of industrial disputes arising out of differences as to wages, hours, or other working conditions, and by restoring equality of bargaining power between employers and employees.
Sec. 301. [§ 185.] (a) [Venue, amount, and citizenship] Suits for violation of contracts between an employer and a labor organization representing employees in an industry affecting commerce as defined in this Act [chapter], or between any such labor organization, may be brought in any district court of the United States having jurisdiction of the parties, without respect to the amount in controversy or without regard to the citizenship of the parties.
(b) [Responsibility for acts of agent; entity for purposes of suit; enforcement of money judgments] Any labor organization which represents employees in an industry affecting commerce as defined in this Act [chapter] and any employer whose activities affect commerce as defined in this Act [chapter] shall be bound by the acts of its agents. Any such labor organization may sue or be sued as an entity and in behalf of the employees whom it represents in the courts of the United States. Any money judgment against a labor organization in a district court of the United States shall be enforceable only against the organization as an entity and against its assets, and shall not be enforceable against any individual member or his assets.

The WGA deliberately put in 6 items they knew would p*ss off the AMPTP (3 of which I agree should never been put in the proposal). Even their own members are upset that the WGA put those items in the proposal. The "brother" union, IATSE, who represents most of the reality show writers and other "below the line" people are p*ssed at the WGA for trying to insert some of those proposals.

Not sure where you, or they, are getting that. It's clear the negotiations will help IATSE as well. Fifty-five percent of funding for pension and health plans comes from residuals. Therefore, the higher the residuals, the more that goes into their P & H. Everyone seems to think the WGA is fighting for what goes into their pockets. The residuals fight is about benefits.
The reasoning behind residuals started in the late 50's when the thought of rerunning made-for-televion productions (series, specials, movies, etc) was first introduced. People realized that reruns would take away the need for new productions and those involved in the work (DGA, WGA, SAG, IATSE) should be compensated.

Re: What are you watching this Fall?
Will big names show up to the Golden Globes next month?
It was a bittersweet day for most Golden Globe nominees who received the good news on the 39th day of the writers strike.
TV series writers and actors, who normally celebrate their shows' nominations on the set of their shows, did that on the picket lines or in the solitude of their homes this year as production on most series has been shut down.
"It stinks," "Samantha Who?" star Christina Applegate said. "We've been off for five weeks now, so I don't know what to do with myself. I miss my crew, and I miss my cast, and I just want it to be over as soon as possible."
Said "House" nonwriting executive producer Katie Jacobs, who is overseeing postproduction for the hit drama's last filmed episodes: "It's sad and painful. I'm here at work, celebrating with the six people still working on the show."
The producers of the Golden Globes ceremony have not yet received a waiver from the WGA, which puts nominees in a tough spot.
Film and TV actors, directors and scribes took a cautious note Thursday about attending the Jan. 13 show if the strike is still ongoing, generally expressing support for the writers but steering the talk toward their nomination and away from the ceremony.
Striking WGA members all said they will support their guild and boycott the Globes if no waiver is granted -- but would do it with a heavy heart.
"It would break my heart because it celebrates artists, but I wouldn't cross the picket line," said Matthew Weiner, creator of AMC's breakout drama "Mad Men." "Not that it would be an easy decision. This is a huge, big deal to me."
That said, Weiner added that the WGA's not granting a waiver "would seem silly to me. An awards show is no place to make a statement. The statement should be made at the bargaining table," he said.
Screenwriter Ronald Harwood is in a similar position, landing his first Globe nom for "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."
"I've never been to the Golden Globes, but if the writers don't come, I shall have to boycott it, I'm afraid," he said.
"Eastern Promises" director and WGA member David Cronenberg said he hoped for a solution but was ready to accept the consequences if no solution came. "It would be somewhat hypocritical for me to cross the picket line," he said.
Shonda Rhimes, creator/executive producer of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice," also was firm that she won't go to the ceremony if no waiver is granted but added that she is "cautiously optimistic."
"As time goes on, it gets more and more difficult, but I remain hopeful that (the two sides) will go back to negotiations and this will all be taken care of," she said.
Dick Clark Prods., the company that produces the Globes telecast in association with the HFPA, continues to hope for a waiver that would allow the show to go on as planned but would "respect and honor any decision the WGA lays down," said Globes exec producer Barry Adelman.
He said a waiver could help not only the event but also the WGA-AMPTP negotiations.
"It does everyone a lot more good to be in the room," he said. "Maybe the Golden Globes can be a useful tool in bringing the industry together."
Actors were split on whether they would attend the ceremony if the strike was still going.
"I'm not getting all dressed up and having a shave just to get shouted at by a bunch of nerds in glasses," "Extras" creator and star Ricky Gervais quipped, adding on a more serious note, "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."
"Californication" star David Duchovny was more adamant about not attending.
"I would never cross picket lines," he said. "I would probably send a stunt double in."
It was a different story for the ladies.
"Of course I'm going to go regardless," Applegate said. "I'll be there with bells on. Now comes the task of finding what to wear."
Jacobs, who landed her first Globe nomination for "House," also was determined.
"I've never been in anybody's face, but if anybody is going to try to prevent me from buying a new dress and prevent me from going, I'll get big about it," she said.
Said "Hairspray" star Nikki Blonsky, "I'm big on peace and harmony, so despite a strike, I hope we can all attend the ceremony and have an exciting time."
The oldest Globes nominee, 90-year-old Ernest Borgnine, also said he will attend, urged on by his wife, who already has picked a dress. But the actor, who has been through several Hollywood labor disputes, had some words for the studios, too.
"I'm all for the writers," he said. "Everyone needs a piece of the cake, and why shouldn't they? Pay them!"
Things are murkier for the foreign nominees.
Englishwoman Helena Bonham Carter, nominated for "Sweeney Todd," said she wasn't aware of the waiver issue but then joked that the show might be a lot shorter if "everyone just got up and had to stand there mute." (Bonham Carter is set to give birth and might not be able to make the show even in nonstrike conditions.)
And James McAvoy, a Scot nominated for best actor in a drama for his role in "Atonement," said he had tried to keep a distance from the strike.
"I'm keeping my nose well out of it," he said. "I do think actors and writers need each other, but it's an American struggle, it's not a British one."
Despite the lack of firm commitments from a lot of talent, Adelman said that production on Globes is on schedule. The show will likely have to adjust the format if there are absences as the Globes traditionally rely heavily on talent speeches.
And although they all might have to face a tough personal decision eventualy if the Globes waiver problem is not resolved, most nominees wanted to just savor the moment Thursday.
"To be honest, I just want to enjoy the day and the nominations," "Californication" creator/exec producer Tom Kapinos said.

WGA On Monday Will Say To Moguls: "Let's Make Individual Deals"; AMPTP Says WGA "Grasping At Straws"
Late Night Breakthrough; Dave Cooks Up WGA Deal That NBC & ABC Won't Enjoy; CBS Reacts By Re-Pledging AMPTP Unity
UPDATED THROUGHOUT: The Writers Guild Of America is granting David Letterman's independent production company Worldwide Pants an "interim agreement" not involving CBS that allows the Late Show host and his writers to return to the airwaves during the strike. So says Letterman's long-time executive producer Rob Burnett who's also the President/CEO of Worldwide Pants.
This trumps NBC's announcement on Monday that Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien will be returning by January 7th. Presumably, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel won't be far behind. "A major announcement will be made by more than one network on Monday," an insider noted. But Jay and Conan, who are just hired hands and not owners like Dave, won't have their writers to rely on when they come back on the air. And Dave will.
Here's the statement from Rob Burnett:
“Worldwide Pants has always been a writer-friendly company. Dave has been a member of the WGA for more than 30 years, and I have been a member for more than 20. Because we are an independent production company, we are able to pursue an interim agreement with the Guild without involving CBS in that pursuit. Therefore, since the beginning of the strike, we have expressed our willingness to sign an interim agreement with the Guild consistent with its positions in this dispute. We're happy that the Guild has now adopted an approach that might make this possible. It is our strong desire to be back on the air with our writers and we hope that will happen as soon as possible.”
This clearly is part of the WGA's new "divide and conquer" strategy (see my previous, WGA Starting Monday Will Say To Moguls: "Let's Make An Individual Deal". Though it's worked with Letterman, it'll be a much tougher sell with the Hollywood moguls. That's why Letterman's network felt the need today to disassociate itself from his WGA deal today, obviously worried that CBS' AMPTP colleagues will be miffed.
CBS issued this statement this afternoon:
Regarding David Letterman's company, Worldwide Pants, seeking an interim agreement with the WGA: We respect the intent of Worldwide Pants to serve the interests of its independent production company and its employees by seeking this interim agreement with the WGA. However, this development should not confuse the fact that CBS remains unified with the AMPTP, and committed to working with the member companies to reach a fair and reasonable agreement with the WGA that positions everyone in our industry for success in a rapidly changing marketplace."
UPDATE: I've been trying to reach Letterman head writers Justin and Eric Stangel (they're brothers and share that title) for comment. But Late Show staff writer and strike captain Bill Scheft just told me he knew nothing about Letterman's attempt to obtain the WGA waiver. "I got the update letter today from the WGA about separate deals and then thought, 'If we were smart, we'd be first on that line,' he said. "They should give Dave the waiver just for singlehandedly keeping six shows off the air for two months."You know, when the economic sanctions of six late night shows being off the air doesn't budge these guys (and you can thank Dave for the other guys staying off and paying their staffs, in my opinion), you have to wonder if they can wield more influence as on-camera advocates for the cause. As I have said since the beginning, Dave Letterman on the air without writers, pissed off he has no writers, railing nightly against network weasels and haircuts, is the greatest ally writers can have.
I asked Scheft how he feels knowing there's even a possibility he could return to work in a matter of days, not months. "Nikki, you have no idea. Very emotional just to think about it. Every single day on the picket line, every day, people from the staff come and visit us. My goal is always to get through the visit without sobbing. A goal not always reached."

Re: What are you watching this Fall?
I think this strike could last until March because the previous WGA strikes in 1960 and 1988 were 5 months. I guess I have to wait for 24 until whenever they start airing it.

R.I.P. Scripted Television - The Strike and Its Effects
THUD NEWSBREAK: RIP TELEVISION
12.14.07
By Devin Faraci
Contributing sources: Variety
On Sunday morning I was at a friend's place in Studio City and I saw one of the notices that get put up when filming is being done in your area (it's so much better organized than in New York, where you never knew what the hell was happening when a TV show or movie took over your block). The show was CSI: New York (yes, in sunny Studio City) and my friend told me they always filmed on her street. But what neither one of us knew was that this filming notice was about to become a collectible. See, they won't be making TV shows anymore. The strike has killed scripted television.
There is still maybe a week or two left for a handful of shows, but every single half hour sitcom is over and most of the hourlongs have wrapped up. Now that production is down to its last, ragged gasps, the real countdown is on: no show has more than 13 episodes left (that show is The Shield, which just barely completed its final season, and shot its final episode without the help of showrunner and creator Shawn Ryan). Most shows have three or four episodes left, and that means that scripted television will have gone into rigor mortis. For a full list of what's left to air, visit the Spoiler TV blog by clicking here.
At the rate things are going, next season is boned as well. We may see a 2008 with almost no new episodes of scripted television shows. Network line-ups will be filled with holes as pilot season is hitting the skids and series are being canceled left and right - the latest, rumor has it, being Bionic Woman. And next week actors, who are still contractually attached to shows that aren't shooting, will start getting force majeur letters that let them go. We're going to see some big layoffs around town. If you were looking to get a job as a barista in West Hollywood, you best get applying now.
What's insane is that as the scripted television world is just crumbling, the producers, the AMPTP, just let it happen. There's a distinct Nero vibe coming from these guys with their fiddles, and it's driving me crazy. And looking at how terribly negotiations between the two sides have gone, this is just the beginning - we'll probably have an article on CHUD in six months commemorating the wrap of the final feature film to go into production. These are weird days for people who love TV and movies, and they're only getting weirder in the coming weeks.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it go well past March... I think there's a good chance next season is affected also.

10:00pm-October Road(January-February)
Tuesdays
8:00pm-American Idol(January)
9:00pm-Big Brother 9(February)/Dancing with the Stars Results(March)/Hell's Kitchen(April)
10:00pm-Jericho(February-March)

Re: What are you watching this Fall?
A prolonged writers strike could spark something of a revival in the kind of political coverage on the broadcast networks that has long been ceded to cable.
At least one broadcast network -- NBC -- is allocating a minimum of an hour in primetime to cover the so-called "Super Duper Tuesday" string of 20 primaries across the U.S. that ultimately could determine each party's presidential candidate. While that was in the works before the strike, the networks aren't ruling out an increase in airtime to the news division that night or in early January with the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary.
As the only broadcast network with a fully distributed cable news platform, NBC's political unit will be up and running full blast no matter what. MSNBC, like Fox News Channel and CNN, already is planning wall-to-wall coverage of the primaries.
"If at any given point that we decide that it's appropriate, we can always flip the switch and go to the network," NBC News president Steve Capus said.
NBC, ABC and CBS are planning at least "cut-ins," brief updates as the polls close Jan. 8 in New Hampshire and Jan. 3 in Iowa as the caucus reports come available.
"If the opportunity presents itself and we think there's a big enough story, it's very easy for us to do it," Capus said Friday. "But it's a little premature for us to say that it will happen."
But if the writers strike stretches into 2008 -- straining the networks' original resources -- the news divisions might find their entertainment counterparts more amenable to forking over valuable primetime. It's less likely to increase the amount of coverage for Iowa and New Hampshire results. While the cable channels go full blast, the broadcast networks traditionally have been less keen about interrupting dramas and sitcoms.
"An hour is an awful lot to fill for the Iowa caucus (on the broadcast network)," one network executive said. "But as things change, it may be something we revisit if there's news leading up to it." Many of these decisions are made on the fly.
CBS also is likely to have an hour in primetime -- more than likely 10 p.m. EST -- devoted to Super Tuesday. That would be a change from 2004, when it was a month later and also not as many states wee participating. CBS News had reports eight times that night, several as crawls across the bottom of the screen. CBS also had one-minute reports a handful of times during Iowa and New Hampshire.
ABC said it's too early to say what will happen. It's probably unlikely that the network will increase its coverage of Iowa and New Hampshire, which back in 2004 also consisted of brief updates throughout the night as the polls closed as well as an extended version of "Nightline." But the door still is open for an hour of primetime coverage of Super Tuesday. Back in 2004, Peter Jennings anchored brief cut-ins throughout the night.
Politics will take center stage in primetime Jan. 5, with ABC's back-to-back presidential debates from the campus of St. Anselm College in Manchester, N.H. ABC anchor Charles Gibson will moderate both the Republican and Democratic debates in a marathon session. But the debates being in primetime -- the only ones on a broadcast network there so far this election cycle -- have nothing to do with the writers strike.

Re: What are you watching this Fall?
I doubt the boradcast networks will do political coverage like the cable news networks. Hope that the writers strike comes up with another
round of talks.
