says that writers’ residuals are in danger, both from the growth of streaming services and the threat they pose to the traditional licensing fee-based residuals model, and from the guild’s four-month-long standoff with Hollywood’s talent agencies, which she says will leave the WGA divided if it continues to drag on ahead of next year’s film and TV contract negotiations with management’s AMPTP. That contract expires on May 1, 2020.
“Only those with multi-year overall deals and other highly overscale deals don’t lose sleep over how we get from year to year, how to qualify for health insurance and how to cease worrying about where the next check comes from. If we enter the 2020 talks with the Companies without having resolved our action against the agencies, most of us will not be in a strong enough position to weather a potentially long and difficult strike to preserve our residuals.
“Our current, license-fee based system does not work with the new models. When Warner’s makes a deal with Warner Media, what do they ‘charge’ and how is a truly fair market value determined? We must unite in advance of the talks with our sister unions—the DGA and SAG-AFTRA—to deal with this issue from a position of unassailable strength.
