Now the guild must finalize the contract and sell the deal to its members.
in August, but made little progress. A counteroffer from the AMPTP included concessions on some key issues, including AI protections, but the WGA said those weren’t “nearly enough.” Top CEOs attempted to meet with members of the guild, but the face-to-face didn’t go well either—and after the AMPTP publicly released its counteroffer, talks stalled.
WGA members showed up in droves to the picket lines on Friday after a Thursday evening email from guild leaders thanked them for “all the messages of solidarity and support we have received the last few days” and requested “as many of you as possible to come out to the picket lines tomorrow.” Strike captainsoutside many studios on Friday. The day ended without a deal, but negotiators agreed to meet again on Saturday and Sunday.
Reaching a deal is the hardest step in these negotiations, but the strike isn’t over quite yet. Though the WGA is suspending picketing—and encouraging writers to support SAG-AFTRA on the picket lines—the negotiating committee wrote in its member email, "No one is to return to work until specifically authorized to by the Guild."
The WGA must now finalize its contract. As soon as Tuesday, the leadership groups at both the East and West branches of the WGA will then vote to send the contract to members for ratification. At that time, leadership will also vote on whether to allow writers to return to work while the official ratification is pending. But even if the writers strike ends this week, Hollywood won’t be back to business as usual until the AMPTP hammers out a deal with SAG-AFTRA.
