So the Director's Guild of America has reached an agreement with the AMPTP. A strategy move on behalf of the AMPTP since the DGA didn't have to negotiate for another few months and as predicted, they laid down and took it up the ass with what they agreed to. From the key points I've read, they're really getting raped. The only good I see having come of this is that the AMPTP finally agreed to come back to the table and start talking with the Writer's Guild again. But I'll say right now, if the agreement that is reached is as shitty as the DGA's, I won't be voting for it when ballots are cast by the membership. We need to bleed these bastards for more than the DGA did. Otherwise, the rollbacks will take effect and the big companies will get richer while the writers get poorer.
