Hollywood Writers' Strike Resolved, Industry Prepares for Return to Work
TL;DR Summary
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has voted unanimously to end its 148-day strike, allowing writers to return to work on September 27. The union released a seven-page agreement detailing the gains and protections for its members, including minimum wage increases and regulations on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The contract will only take effect if it gains majority support from the union members, who will be able to vote from Monday through October 9. The strike was close to surpassing the longest strike in Writers Guild history, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass expressed hope for a fair agreement with the Screen Actors Guild.
