LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Striking Writers Guild of America members are set to meet this weekend so they can be briefed on how ongoing talks with TV and film producers are progressing.

The Hollywood Reporter said the WGA West has scheduled a meeting for Saturday evening at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, while the WGA East will gather Saturday afternoon at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Manhattan.

"While we have made important progress since the companies re-engaged us in serious talks, negotiations continue," WGA negotiating committee chair John Bowman told members. "Regardless of what you hear or read, there are many significant points that have yet to be worked out. In order to keep members abreast of the latest developments, informational meetings are being planned by both guilds for this weekend. Neither the negotiating committee, nor the West board or the East council will take action on the contract until after the membership meetings."

The WGA has been on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers since Nov. 5.
