The Writer's Guild of America and Hollywood studios have reached a 'tentative agreement' on a new contract, which could prompt the end of a historic monthslong strike.
The WGA wrote in an email to its members that"this deal is exceptional — with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership." However, no deal has yet been struck between the studios and striking actors.BREAKING: Tentative deal between #WGA and Hollywood Studios and Streamers. pic.twitter.com/dU5pjAe66iThe union made sure to note that"no one is to return to work until specifically authorized to by the Guild. We are on strike until then.
The deal, which would be a three-year contract, is between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the group that represents the studios, streaming services, and producers in negotiations. The strike on May 2, going on for over 146 days. It forced the suspension of late-night talk shows such as The Tonight Show and eventually led to scripted streaming series needing to suspend operations as well.
Writers joined the picket line in demand of better pay, better treatment, and artificial intelligence assurances, among other things. The strike was the first among screenwriters since 2007 and the longest since 1988, according to the Associated Press. The WGA encouraged its members who are able to picket with SAG-AFTRA, the group of actors striking for better working conditions who have yet to come to an agreement with studios.
