DGA makes deal. WGA and AMPTP to stare at feet sheepishly.
Whether the terms won by directors will be acceptable to writers is not immediately clear.
However, if the Writers Guild of America spurns the DGA deal, tensions that have been brewing could divide and weaken the union.
“If the WGA rejects the basic concepts of a DGA deal, there’s going to be a great deal of dissatisfaction among the membership,” said Dick Wolf, creator and executive producer of the “Law & Order” TV shows. “The bottom line here is: This town should be back to work in three weeks.”
i’m not WGA, but everyone on a tv staff has to be stoked at the chance of going back to work.
