Verrone to WGA membership
"[Last] Friday it became clear to us that management's plan is to stall the talks until the final hours and divide us with a low-ball eleventh hour offer. This sort of brinkmanship will likely be met by fear, confusion, and even acrimony. All that is natural and expected. Therefore, we must be strong and steadfast in our convictions so that we convey the proper message to our employers, to our allies in the entertainment community, to the industry at large, and to each other: That, as much as we don't want a strike, we want a bad contract even less." -- from 10.28 letter to general WGA membership from WGA West President Patric Verrone.

Verrone is right -- the current offer from the AMPTP would give writers a far worse deal than the crappy one they have now.
Not that this has been reported anywhere. I mean, the LA Times has basically become a propaganda paper for the studios.

Yeah, what's that all about at the LA Times? And David Poland doesn't like the timing. I think the DGA kind of supports my argument that the 2008 slate isn't as secure as it's tossed off to be.
