with a short lead time.
Daytime writers in particular opposed the
strike. Trent Jones, a soap opera writer, said
he had "a great deal of resentment" against
the strike and urged delaying the strike
because producers had been "stockpiling"
scripts.
Daytime writers would be most adversely
affected of those taking pari in the strike, lie

October.
"We are locking ourselves out. That has to
slop. 'Cagncy and I.acey' already has 10
scripts for next season," he said.
No talks were scheduled in the dispute;
representatives of the union and the Alliance
of Motion Picture and Television Producers
last met early Iriday. The last writers' strike,
in 1981, laslcd 13 weeks.
Naomi Ciurian, the guild's executive director,
said the proposed contract covered threeyears
and offered a 6 percent increase in pay
to the writers, who are compensated on a
project basis. For example, a half-hour situation
comedy under the just-expired contract
would bring a wirier $14,782, including the
residual from a first prime-time rerun.
