Writers reach tentative deal with studios to end nearly 150-day strike. Talks between the Writers Guild of America and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers resumed last week, leading to a preliminary agreement. The WGA and AMPTP are still finalizing contract language. The strike is not officially over until membership ratifies the deal. Hollywood writers initially struck in May seeking protections for AI use and higher pay for streamed content. President Biden supported the agreement, noting collective bargaining secures worker benefits and dignity. SAG-AFTRA performers have been on strike since July seeking similar updates to improve wages, working conditions, and benefits. They also want streaming service transparency for equitable residual payments.
The acting union remains committed to achieving necessary terms and congratulated writers on their "incredible strength, resiliency and solidarity" during 146 days of picketing.
