Ivy Kagan Bierman, chair of Loeb & Loeb’s Entertainment Labor practice, is quoted in an article published by The Hollywood Reporter discussing the impact of social media on the WGA strike and the Writers Guild of America and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers negotiations.
In a statement to the publication, Ivy pointed out that social media does not necessarily impact the terms of the final agreement.
