- Nick_Counter abstract "Nick Counter (1940-2009) was a labor attorney and the long-standing President of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and chief negotiator for the major studios who squared off against Hollywood's writers during a 100-day strike in 2008. He was a fixture in Hollywood labor circles, having overseen some 400 labor contracts with writers, actors, film crews, musicians and scores of other professionals. He served as AMPTP's president for 27 years and was the chief negotiator for 311 major labor pacts, including six in 2008. He retired in February 2009, marking the end of an era. For most of his tenure, Counter presided over a period of relative labor calm, except for two major strikes that rocked Hollywood, in 1988 and 2008, both by the Writers Guild of America.Over the years, Counter was praised by his colleagues for giving the often-fractious alliance a unified voice, a task that became increasingly trying as studios became facets of media conglomerates with diverse businesses.The group often has had difficulty reaching consensus because it represents more than 350 film and television producers, including major media giants that are fierce competitors. At the same time, Counter's pugnacious style and tactics -- which included staring down opponents and publicly rebuking union officials who angered him -- also made him the nemesis of many rank-and-file workers, especially during the most recent writers strike, when he was depicted as tone-deaf to their concerns. Despite his bare-knuckles style, Counter rarely lost his cool and displayed a soft side that disarmed his opponents. In the heat of negotiations with the Writers Guild in 2004, for example, Counter gave an emotional speech paying tribute to Dan Petrie, the director and father of the former guild president.".
