Were in a team sport.
Were only as good as our teams.
As of now, the DGA have not made public what their specific goals in those negotiations are.

Watch on Deadline
The current contract for the nearly 20,000-strong Directors Guild expires on June 30.
The remarks from Glatter today, and seen below, came during an interview for an upcoming Deadline podcast.
DEADLINE:We were hearing that the DGA talks with the AMPTP may get pushed.
Will they still start on May 10?
GLATTER:Thats correct.
The DGA as does SAG has a contractual agreement.
Ours is May 10.
DEADLINE:What is your take on how things went south with the WGA and the AMPTP?
GLATTER:I wish they had come up with a deal.
Thats what we all hoped.
Obviously, those issues and concerns were not met.
DEADLINE:Are you in communication with the WGA?
GLATTER:I personally am not.
I have not talked with the WGA about having a public conversation about this.
Im very hesitant to do that.
Because were at a turning point.
We have issues, Writers Guild SAG, IATSE, so this is fighting for our future right now.
Were in a team sport.
Were only as good as our teams.
Its really important that our members are treated fairly.
Our workers in the film business, all of us as workers should be treated fairly.
We have an interest in keeping our industry vibrant and sustainable.
