Perhaps one way to solve the differences between Hollywood producers and WGA writers is to put them all into a better mood; maybe the best way to do this would be a change of scenery. I’d like to suggest setting both sides up in hotels in Las Vegas; negotiate by day, do the nightlife by night.
They always say that whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Well, maybe that mentality could lead to both sides giving in a little until they meet somewhere in the middle and get a deal done.
In the meantime, networks are laying off hundreds of staffers each time they shut down a show, and all of these innocent tech crew workers are finding themselves unemployed and without any guarantee of getting their jobs back when the strike is over. Those are the real victims of this WGA-Hollywood Producers conflict.
The talent drain could leave a lot of shows worse off for the experience once a settlement is reached and everyone does go back to work.
