The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has officially ended their strike after 148 days following a tentative agreement with the Association of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP) with a new contract.
The picket line officially ended at midnight on September 27 as the strikers officially called off their protest. The new agreement will let all the members of the WGA go back to their respective offices before a final ratification vote is held from October 2-9.
The WGA will hold member meetings on both coasts this week in person and on zoom to discuss the details of the contract. Given the enthusiastic endorsement of the WGA negotiating committee, it is expected to be easily ratified by strike-weary members.
The vote to lift the strike order followed unanimous votes by the WGA’s negotiating committee, the WGA West board and WGA East council to send the contract to members for ratification.
The WGA West will hold a member meeting on September 27. PST at the Hollywood Palladium and convene the same night at Manhattan Center. Zoom meetings will be held the next day at 5 p.m. PST. The unanimous decision to end the strike comes two days after the writers and Hollywood studios successfully concluded talks for a new 3 year deal on September (IANS)
