Union leaders and Hollywood studios reached a tentative agreement Sunday to end a historic screenwriters strike after nearly five months, though no deal is yet in the works for striking actors.
after nearly five months, though no deal is yet in the works for striking actors.
"WGA has reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP," said in an email to members. "This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who joined us on the picket lines for over 146 days."The three-year contract agreement — settled on after five marathon days of renewed talks by negotiators WGA and the AMPTP — must be approved by the guild's board and members before the strike officially ends.
The agreement comes just five days before the strike would've become the longest in the guild's history, and the longest Hollywood strike in decades. But as writers prepare to potentially crack open their laptops again, it’s far from back to business as usual in Hollywood, as talks have not yet resumed between studios and striking actors. Crew members left with no work by the stoppage will remain unemployed for now.Tuesday, SAG-AFTRA AND WGA joined forces with affiliates across the country for a national day of solidarity.
