Los Angeles, September 29 (RHC)-- In U.S. labor news, television and movie writers are back at work after ending their historic 148-day strike, following an “exceptional” tentative deal on a new contract with Hollywood studios and streaming services.
The Writers Guild of America said that three of its internal boards had unanimously voted to end the strike and send the tentative three-year agreement to its 11,500 members for ratification.
The new contract includes an increase in residual payments, higher compensation, better benefits, protections against artificial intelligence, and gains on data transparency and staffing minimums.
