"SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP met for a full day bargaining session and have concluded," the two sides said in a joint statement at the end of the day. It said negotiations would resume on Wednesday. The tentative accord reached Sept. 24 between the producers and the 11,500-member Writers Guild of America not only paved the way for ending their labor dispute three days later, it could serve as a template for settling the actors strike.
