SAG: The Mediation Express
SAG met with the federal mediator last Wednesday, and now the AMPTP is meeting with him this Thursday, reports Variety. Meetings between the mediator and either one side or the other have been coming at a rate of one meeting per week over the last month. There haven't been any joint meetings.
Meanwhile, as I blogged yesterday, the AMPTP restarted negotiations with the IA today (Monday), and will meet with them tomorrow and Weds., and then again, reports Variety, next Mon.-Weds. as well. Looks like the SAG mediation has jump-started the IA talks. Not exactly what people were expecting, I imagine.
