WGA leaders could send the proposal on to the union’s membership for ratification. soon
LOS ANGELES — Leaders of the Writers Guild of America could decide as early as Tuesday, Sept. 26, whether to accept the terms of a tentative labor deal with Hollywood studios and send the proposal to the union’s membership for ratification.
The WGA announced the tentative deal Sunday night, following five consecutive days of meetings with leaders of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the studios. No details of the three-year pact have been released, with the guild telling its members such details would be provided once it is vetted fully and put into final contract language by the negotiating committee, then approved by leaders of the WGA West and East branches.
“I am hopeful that this tentative deal meets the needs of the WGA members who have sacrificed so much during this difficult but worthy and necessary strike. With this deal, these past 140 days could protect writers’ livelihoods for decades to come,” County Supervisor Janice Hahn said in a statement. With the WGA reaching a proposed deal, attention is now expected to turn to SAG-AFTRA. There have been no known talks between the actors’ union and AMPTP since the strike began. But a WGA deal could be used as a template for an accord with writers, since both unions were focused on many of the same issues.
Earlier this month, the WGA seemingly tried to employ a similar tactic, issuing a statement suggesting some traditional Hollywood studios should break ranks with the AMPTP and reach a deal directly with the writers’ union. The WGA suggested it had spoken with some studio executives who believe a deal could be quickly struck.
