Foley and the Association of Media & Entertainment Counsel (AMEC) hosted a Web conference on the end of the strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA).
Featured Speaker

Patric Verrone, President of the WGA West and a chief architect of the WGA negotiation and strike strategy
The 100-day strike by the WGA is over and the WGA has secured a multi-year agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). What led to the resolution of the strike? Who won and who lost? What are the relevant deal points? What impact will the deal between the WGA and the AMPTP have today and in the future? What does this mean for the upcoming negotiations with the Screen Actors Guild?
Our panel of recognized experts tackled these and other issues related to the strike in a factual, non-partisan program. This Web conference is designed to educate production, business affairs, and labor relations executives on the new agreement and its long-term implications for the industry. The panelists have direct, hand-on experience in the entertainment industry with complicated aspects of legal and business affairs and labor relations.
