It is informed that when top entertainment moguls chose Warner Brothers as the site to announce the breakdown of negotiations with unions representing television and movie writers on March 1, the use of the Burbank studio was rife with historic symbolism. Right outside the doors from where Disney president Robert Iger and Dreamworks' Jeff Katzenberg were speaking, Hollywood had staged a violent clash in its last industrywide labor war. The breakoff of talks announced at Warner Brothers by Iger and Katzenberg came after six weeks of preliminary closed-door negotiations between industry employers and leaders of the 11,000-member Writers Guild of America.
