Writers going back to the table, sources say
Los Angeles Times: "Spurred by the day-old employment contract negotiated by the Directors Guild, Hollywood's writers and the major studios agreed Friday to resume their negotiations in hopes of reaching an agreement that would end the 11-week-old strike, according to several people close to the matter."

As this goes on, you can really tell just how many people in the industry this strike is affecting. Certainty there are the obvious ones who are directly linked with a show, but the amount of hands that are involved in the television industry is quite large. Being in LA recently, you could really feel the tension that surrounded a lot of these places, especially as we drove past the Union buildings.
It's good that the writers guild and the directors are getting closer to reaching some sort of agreement, although this article was rather light on information about what is in the latest compromise. Personally, I side with the writers because they want compensation for their work when it is published online, and the only reason I see the producers not wanting to pay is because of capitalistic greed.
