Statement From AMPTP President Nick Counter

  The following statement was posted on the Web site of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on Monday, November 05, 2007.

"Notwithstanding the fact that negotiations were ongoing, the WGA decided to start their strike in New York. When we asked if they would 'stop the clock' for the purpose of delaying the strike to allow negotiations to continue, they refused.

We made an attempt at meeting them in a number of their key areas including Internet streaming and jurisdiction in New Media. Ultimately, the guild was unwilling to compromise on most of their major demands.

It is unfortunate that they choose to take this irresponsible action."
