The first day of a new round of contract negotiations between striking movie and TV writers and Hollywood studios concluded Monday, apparently without a deal.
Both sides returned the bargaining table Monday for the first time since the Writers Guild of America went on strike three weeks ago. A person familiar with the talks who was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity said the talks will resume Tuesday.
The writers went on strike Nov. 5 over payment for work aired on the Web. Writers want more money when TV shows and films are sold on Internet sites such as Apple Inc.’s iTunes.
