The WGA East and Hearst Magazines Media have reached a tentative agreement for a first-time contract covering some 500 of the publishing giant’s writers, producers, and editors at 28 brands
, comes after more than two years of on-again, off-again bargaining and “is a shining example of the WGAE’s commitment to bettering the lives of those working in the media and entertainment industry,” the guild said. “This landmark contract was hardfought since Day 1, and is testament to what can be achieved through the power of solidarity.”
The guild had filed four unfair labor practices charges with the National Labor Relations Board against Hearst since the negotiations began, and last month hundreds of the guild’s members employed by the company staged a half-day walkout and rally to demand a fair contract.
