The Writers Guild of America will resume bargaining Tuesday with the organization representing film and television producers in an attempt to stave off a potential strike starting May 1.

Negotiations between writers and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers broke off last month without an agreement. The current contract for the Writers Guild’s 11,000 members expires May 1. Members are seeking more money for writers when programs are rebroadcast domestically and in foreign markets and when shows are distributed on video, DVD and the Internet.
