- WGA strike scheduled to end on Wednesday
- Writers authorized to return to work after strike
- Studios and producers warned not to revolt against writers
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike is set to end on Wednesday, permitting writers to get back to their work. After the voting process, an overwhelming majority of union members decided to accept the terms provided by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
The memo from the WGA to both studios and production companies issued an ultimatum against potential acts of retribution toward the writers who dared to strike. It stated, “If any showrunner has been told that they will be held financially responsible for any delivery delays caused by the strike, or if there are attempts to force you back onto a prep, shoot, post schedule… the Guild will have your back.”
To ensure the strike doesn’t occur again, there will be full monitoring and enforcement of the latest pact. The memo further added, “We are under no illusions that getting back to work will be seamless or without its bumps. But we ask everyone to try and approach the next several weeks with patience, understanding, and a commitment to the spirit and letter of the Agreement we’ve made.”
