WGA negotiates deal with studios after 5 month strike
Just the facts
- The Writer's Guild of America has reached a "tentative" agreement to bring an end to the strike that has been going on for nearly five entire months.
- The deal has to be approved by the union's board and members before the strike comes to an official end, expected to happen later this week.
- Though the strike is technically still going on, picketing has been brought to a stop pending approval of the deal.
- President Joe Biden called the agreement a "testament to the power of collective bargaining", suggesting executive official support for organized labor.
- Though the WGA may be ending their strike soon, the Screen Actors' Guild (SGA), which has been on strike since July, has not reached a deal and will contiue to strike.
