After 146 days on the picket line, the WGA has reached a tentative agreement to end its strike
By going on strike, actors are leveraging their collective power as workers to get their demands met in their next contract with AMPTP. With actors withholding their labor—and thus the profits that labor generates—studio and production companies are likely to be more incentivized to put forth a proposal on the bargaining table that will bring actors 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,” the union’s negotiating committee said in areleased to members. Though the strike is still technically ongoing until the guild authorizes the official end of the work stoppage, leadership has suspended picketing.
