The WGA released an amazing video tracing the journey that the union took during the writers' strike and how it became '148 Days Stronger.'
While there's still the essential step of the union's membership needing to vote to ratify the tentative agreement, barring any last-minute swerves? The writers' strike officially ended at 12:01 a.m. PT/3:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday of this week. But that's just the first step, with the WGA also rallying with SAG-AFTRA as the actors' union prepares to meet with the AMPTP this Monday to hammer out their own deal.
Here's a look back at what the WGA had to share when the news was announced that the writers' strike was set to end, including documentation outlining what union members gained in the deal. As we reported on Sunday, the WGA reached a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on a new three-year Minimum Basic Agreement. Today, your Negotiating Committee, the WGAW Board and WGAE Council all voted unanimously to recommend the agreement. It will now go to both Guilds' memberships for a ratification vote. Eligible voters will receive ballot and materials for the vote which will take place from October 2nd to October 9th.
The WGAW Board and WGAE Council also voted unanimously to lift the restraining order and end the strike as of 12:01 am PT/3:01 am ET on Wednesday, September 27th. This allows writers to return to work during the ratification process, but does not affect the membership's right to make a final determination on contract approval.
Now that we have finalized the Memorandum of Agreement , we can share details of this exceptional deal, with gains and protections for members in every sector of the business:
