The Writers Guild of America (WGA) announced it has reached what it described as a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which is representing major Hollywood studios, to end strikes and resume work.
"What we have won in this contract – most particularly, everything we have gained since May 2nd – is due to the willingness of this membership to exercise its power, to demonstrate its solidarity, to walk side-by-side, to endure the pain and uncertainty of the past 146 days," the WGA's statement read. "It is the leverage generated by your strike, in concert with the extraordinary support of our union siblings, that finally brought the companies back to the table to make a deal."
The AMPTP will now have to reach a deal with actors on strike, represented by the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).
