After four months of failed contract negotiations, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) are set to resume talks on Wednesday. Bill Maher, host of the HBO talk show “Real Time,” had previously announced that the show would be returning to TV without the presence of writers, but reversed his decision last week in support of the strike. The WGA is encouraging its members to continue to demonstrate their commitment to the strike by attending picket lines while negotiations are ongoing.
