Screen pay has decreased by 14% over the last 5 years. The WGA released a document describing what they proposed and what was or wasn't agreed to. While the AMPTP felt like they were offering generous compensation to the writers, the WGA strongly disagreed as many of their requests for a livable job were not met. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) met with the WGA to discuss what would be entailed in their new contract after their past three-year contract expired. But what caused them to strike and feel as if the writers are facing a crisis of disagreement between the studios? This strike was voted unanimously after they couldn't come to agreement with Hollywood studios about the terms of their TV and film contract that was expiring on Monday. The board of directors, which consists of both the East and West Coast councils, called for an immediate strike. On Tuesday, May 2, more than 11,000 writers of the Writer's Guild Association (WGA) went on strike.
