I’ve got a 6:30 AM call time tomorrow, so it’s off to bed with me.
The kind of negotiating I have hoped for all along…the intense kind, with the key decision-makers huddled together in a room…news blackout…etc….is still underway.
Might work.
Might not.
When I wake up, I guess I’ll know.
If it’s a strike, then it failed.
If there’s a deal (unlikely), then it succeeded.
More likely…if the WGA agrees to postpone the strike for a limited amount of time—say a week or something like that—then it means there’s a deal in the making.
I hope I rise to good news, but I’m ready for bad.
