The 148-day Hollywood writers strike is finally over, thanks to a new three-year deal the Writers Guild of America made with major Hollywood studios. Film and TV writers in the union still have to ratify the contract, but they're allowed to get back to work.
"The deal is exceptional in that it is something that will protect writers, not just now, but in the future," WGA West President David Goodman told NPR. Last week and over the weekend, he and the union's negotiating team met with the top executives of Disney, Netflix, NBCUniversal and Warner Bros. Discovery to hammer out the new three-year contract.

As a member of the WGA, though not very active, I supported their efforts and agreed with their demands.

"The Hollywood writers' strike has ended, and the full guild is set to vote on the contract agreed to with the AMPTP from October 2-91. In the meantime, TV writers' rooms can reconvene, and writers can resume "pitching, selling scripts, taking meetings" and "responding to notes"1. The Writers Guild of America has reached a tentative agreement on a new 2023 minimum basic agreement."...
