The Writer’s Strike is Over
Jennifer Maas, writing in Variety, has the scoop on the writer’s strike.
On the 148th day of the work stoppage, the board of the WGA West and council of the WGA East voted unanimously on Tuesday to lift the strike order as of 12:01 a.m. PT on Wednesday. following a tentative agreement on a new minimum basic agreement (MBA) contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). That means writers can go back to work as of Wednesday even before the final ratification vote on the contract.
I wonder, in the long run, who wins. I’m betting not the writers.
