The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers will begin negotiations for a new film and television agreement on March 20. said in a statement on Wednesday.
The current WGA contract expires on May 1.
DGA has come out on top in each of the last three three-year bargaining cycles, despite their contracts expiring at the same time as SAG-AFTRA – on June 30. However, earlier this month the DGA said it was not the first guild at the negotiating table this year because “studios are not yet ready to address our key issues.”
The last time DGA was not first was in 2010, when SAG and AFTRA came to the negotiating table first before the merger. The WGA’s last victory in 2007 led to a 100-day writers’ strike.
