Members rhinohide Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 I don't think this was the only thing on their plate. I don't have the information you seem to want, but no information means we're all making assumptions. You're assuming that there was no research or thought and the unknowns could have been known. I do not. But enjoyed the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 Correct they spent from Nov 2011-Nov 2012 getting unions on board, getting investors, studio space. Plus AMC & OLTL arent the only shows and films PP produces. They also have a music divison. So they have other intrests its not just AMC & OLTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 None of us have insight into their union negotiations, but it's strange that none of this was flagged in any of those negotiations that allegedly went on for a year. Both sides dropped the ball somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 I've seen people blaming the unions like somehow it's their fault lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greens_dupres Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 I want Eden to take over all PP PR- honest but positive Eden Riegel @edenriegel7m So, peeps. I'm, like, really upset about this latest hiccup in the life of AMC. But we're a family & I am so hopeful it will be resolved. Eden Riegel @edenriegel8m @leeawalla There's a temporary shut down due to a labor dispute. That's all I know. I've heard there is confidence it will be resolved.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 I am probably wrong--but weren't these union regulations (about budget) specifically created in this case for this ventur--and I don't believe that was hammered out till Dec at earliest. Giving PP perhaps a bit too much credit, I think your first point could be argued in their favour too. A LOT of this stuff--from episode numberper week, to writing staff, etc, etc, are things that frankly in such a new situation I do *not* think PP should have anticipated, or could have, before they actually went out and tried it.

Members Juliajms Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 PP says they didn't go over right, maybe that's actually true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 I don't think the unions changed anything to suit what Prospect Park was doing, that's if you go off the the Tweet someone posted in this thread from someone at PP a few pages back about unions looking at the current set up under some old-fashion guise. Unions don't change policy easily, but has there been an article specific to what the unions negotiated with PP? But then, none of us were there and know the final details of the agreement regardless. Talks with the unions apparently started right after PP won the licensing agreement to these shows two years ago. Wasn't that one of the reasons it took so long to get this project off the ground? We know lengthy dialogue went on somewhere in regards to the unions and how these reboots fit in. As I said before, the ball was drooped somewhere. This venture IS an working experiment, but we know they were granted union approval somewhere along the line to get these shows off the ground. I don't think these unions have reason to want to pick on two relatively small projects when they're responsible for much bigger things. I just don't think it's a simple issue of these unions simply picking on these shows/PP, the terms of their agreements with PP had to have been violated somewhere (don't think anyone is claiming otherwise though).

Members John Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 This agreement is new & is only for one year with the various guilds.

Members Vee Posted June 6, 2013 Members Share Posted June 6, 2013 John, moving the shows is the most ridiculous thing any of us have ever heard, so you might as well drop it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
