Hollywood Writer’s End Strike

Members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th.  In a statement from Patric M. Verrone, President/WGA West reads in part:

“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.” 

Production will now resume for most – if not all your favorite shows.
