Los Angeles, United States - Striking writers whose industrial action has paralyzed Hollywood said Sunday they had reached an 'exceptional'
Los Angeles, United States – Striking writers whose industrial action has paralyzed Hollywood said Sunday they had reached an “exceptional” deal with studios that could see them go back to work.
“We can say, with great pride, that this deal is exceptional — with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.” A terse joint statement from the WGA and the AMPTPT, the umbrella group representing studios and streamers confirmed an agreement.Thousands of film and television scribes downed their pens in early May over demands including better pay for writers, greater rewards for creating hit shows, and protection from artificial intelligence.
“While we look forward to reviewing the WGA and AMPTP’s tentative agreement, we remain committed to achieving the necessary terms for our members,” it said. Studios had offered greater transparency in streaming audience numbers, while stopping short of offering to revise the way residual payments are calculated.
