NOTE FROM LB: Negotiations regarding a new Writers Guild of America (both West and East) contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (all the major networks and studios) began yesterday. Here’s an informative breakdown of what it’s all about…as in what’s at stake here (a lot for both them and, yeah, us.)

Negotiations for a new WGA film and TV contract get underway Monday, and if the two sides fail to reach an agreement in a couple of weeks, expect a rush to get film scripts completed in anticipation of a strike come May 1, when the union’s current contract expires.
