Hollywood Strikes Nearing Resolution: Writers and Actors Inch Closer to Deal

The 148-day writers' strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) is set to end as guild leadership authorizes members to return to work. While the strike's end allows writers to resume work, the tentative agreement reached with studios and streamers still needs to be ratified by union members through a vote scheduled between October 2 and October 9. The WGA negotiating committee emphasized that the strike's conclusion does not affect the membership's right to make a final determination on contract approval. Meanwhile, SAG-AFTRA remains on strike, and no new bargaining dates have been announced between the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
