WGA's tentative deal is 'exceptional,' negotiating committee tells members

The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers announced a tentative deal Sunday night to end the writers’ strike, which started May 2. The strike continues while the ratification process goes forward, with union leaders expected to vote on Tuesday both on the deal itself and on ending the strike. Once union leaders sign off on the deal, it would go to the WGA’s 11,000 members to vote on ratification.

The details of the tentative agreement are not public and are still being finalized, but negotiators described it as “exceptional” in an announcement to members, saying it contains “meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.”
