Governor: SAG, Producers Resolution Is Critical
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
Governor Schwarzenegger says resolution of the labor dispute between the Screen Actors Guild and Hollywood producers is critical.
SAG weighed bargaining strategies Friday after Hollywood producers warned a souring economy could cause them to reconsider their contract offer.
In a statement, SAG said the guild's national negotiating committee met in a closed-door strategy session and remains "committed to continuing to bargain for a fair contract."
But producers didn't signal a willingness to revisit what they've called their final proposal -- unless, perhaps, to reduce it.
Actors continue to work under a contract that expired last month.
SAG says a negotiations update will be provided on Monday.
