Getting Closer?

Yesterday, our Guild finally dumped an abosolute dealbreaker out of our demands and it looks like we'll finally be getting back to the bargaining table with the Producers. Though I admire the good will behind trying to extend WGA membership to reality writers and animation feature writers, it was a ton to ask of the producers in terms of new benefits, residuals and budgets to supply. Animation has its own union and it just needs to take a stronger stand on some things. What do reality writers even do? My understanding is that God writes reality, and I'm pretty sure God is covered. Anyway, I respect our union president, Patric Verrone, for getting rid of those demands that were clearly close to his heart. Seems like all we need to do now is figure out a fair formula for DVD's, downloads, and all other uncovered viewings. This should get done rather quickly, which is how I've felt since the DGA settled. Let's hope so!
