We did it! Hollywood reacts to tentative deal ending months-long writers strike
The Hollywood writers' union has reached a deal with the studios
In what could be the biggest news of the week from Hollywood, the writers’ unions, studios and streamers have finally reached a tentative agreement – which could mean that the months-long strike can finally end. Although the members have been advised to not start work until a formal agreement is drafted, circulated, and put into effect, the studios can get back to work. Calling it a “victory”, the Writers Guildmembers, including some of the biggest names in the industry, were seen applauding each other for standing strong and supporting the picket line.
It was on September 24 that the deal was announced. It ended the 146-daystrike that began on May 2. The deal was reached after five days of back-to-back negotiations throughout the weekend.
In its message to members, the union’s negotiating committee asked for patience on details of the pact.“What remains now is for our staff to make sure everything we have agreed to is codified in final contract language. And though we are eager to share the details of what has been achieved with you, we cannot do that until the last ‘i’ is dotted.”
“SAG-AFTRA congratulates the WGA on reaching a tentative agreement with the AMPTP after 146 days of incredible strength, resiliency, and solidarity on the picket lines. While we look forward to reviewing the WGA and AMPTP’s tentative agreement, we remain committed to achieving the necessary terms for our members,” said the actors' union, which is also on strike.
The actors' union continued, “Since the day the WGA strike began, SAG-AFTRA members have stood alongside the writers on the picket lines. We remain on strike in our TV/Theatrical contract and continue to urge the studio and streamer CEOs and the AMPTP to return to the table and make the fair deal that our members deserve and demand.”
The most important issues that the two parties reached an agreement on were regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence, healthcare contributions and adjustments to the current structure of residuals, and transparency regarding streaming performance.
