Called the “New Economic Partnership,” Hollywood producers made an offer to the Writers Guild of America yesterday that includes “millions of dollars extra” for content created for the internet, the AP reports. In a statement, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said, "The entire value of the New Economic Partnership will deliver more than $130 million in additional compensation above and beyond the more than $1.3 billion writers already receive each year."

The partnership would last three years, the producers said, and the $130 million would be spread over that time.

For its part, the WGA requested a break in discussions until Tuesday as it considers the offer. Union members, however, were asked to continue picketing today and Monday.

The WGA hinted at skepticism over the deal in a statement of its own. The union believes the partnership proposal only accounts for free, ad-supported content, “and it amounts to a massive rollback.” Said the statement, "That's a little over a 3 percent increase in writer earnings each year, while company revenues are projected to grow at a rate of 10 percent. We are falling behind."

According to the AP’s reporting, the WGA is seeking in the range of $151 million.
