Our priority is to end the strike so that valued members of the creative community can return to what they do best and to end the hardships that so many people and businesses that service the industry are experiencing, Carol Lombardini, president of the AMPTP, via statement.

We have come to the table with an offer that meets the priority concerns the writers have expressed.
