The writer’s strike is really, really officially over!. Writers Guild members voted 3,492 voted yes and 283 voted no, for the new deal passing by for a 92.5% . The strike which started on November 5th has ended today. The WGA President said:
“The strike is over. Our membership has voted, and writers can go back to work. This was not a strike we wanted, but one we had to conduct in order to win jurisdiction and establish appropriate residuals for writing in new media and on the Internet. Those advances now give us a foothold in the digital age. Rather than being shut out of the future of content creation and delivery, writers will lead the way as TV migrates to the Internet and platforms for new media are developed.”
He went on to say that writing can resume immediately. Everyone go back to work. HOORAY!
