- WGA has a meeting with media executives, including Iger and Zaslav
- WGA representatives feel they received a “lecture” instead of having a discussion
- Sides may not come to an agreement regarding the strike
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) participated in a meeting with media executives, including Bob Iger from Disney and David Zaslav from Discovery, on Tuesday night. Instead of coming closer to a resolution regarding the ongoing strike issue, WGA representatives felt they were subjected to a “lecture” by the executives. This could indicate that the two sides may struggle to come to an agreement in the near future.
WGA representatives have called the interaction a “one-sided” engagement, as it seemed they were not being listened to by the executives. According to them, it felt like the media executives were trying to impose their views and opinions on the matter. The continuous disagreement between the two sides is causing concern among industry professionals, as a failure to resolve the strike could result in major consequences for the entertainment industry.
