With deadline on menu, WGA sets table for strike 2


October 23, 2007 With a contract deadline looming in the WGA's film and TV talks with studios and networks, the guild Monday scheduled a separate strike-authorization vote by WGA newswriters. The move -- involving 500 members whose CBS contract expired more than 2 1/2 years ago -- follows Friday's announcement that WGA members had authorized a possible strike by screenwriters and primetime broadcast scribes. Of those returning ballots, 90.3% voted to authorize a possible WGA strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers.
