Hollywood Writers Strike Ends with Tentative Deal

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and major Hollywood studios have reached a tentative deal on a new three-year film and TV contract, addressing key demands of screenwriters. However, the contract still needs to be ratified by the guild's members. While the strike is not immediately over, WGA members will be able to return to work once authorized by the guild. The impact of the strike on the entertainment industry has been significant, with delayed productions and canceled TV series. The tentative WGA deal could potentially provide a framework to help resolve the ongoing actors' strike as it addresses similar concerns.

The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have yet to reach an agreement on key issues such as minimum TV writer staff sizes, duration of employment, residuals for streaming projects, and regulations on the use of artificial intelligence in entertainment. The WGA has encouraged its members to continue showing support at picket lines.

Unions Call for Strike Authorization Votes Ahead of Negotiations

SAG-AFTRA's national board has unanimously recommended that its members authorize a strike ahead of negotiations for a new film and TV contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The vote does not mean a strike will necessarily happen, but it would allow the National Board to call one if deemed necessary during the negotiations process. The last time SAG-AFTRA went on strike against the studios was in 1980. Postcards will be sent to eligible members on May 18 with instructions on how to vote, and voting will close at 5 p.m. PT on June 5.
