WGA CONTRACT UPDATE

As you may have seen, the WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement for a new 2023 Minimum Basic Agreement. The WGA reports that the deal is “exceptional – with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership”. We would like to recognize the WGA’s extraordinary show of solidarity and their willingness to endure 146 days of strike action – it is only through the strength and support of our Union members and kin that we are able to fight for better working conditions and fair contracts for all.
