Hollywood screenwriters have ended their five-month strike, pending final agreements, after the Writers Guild of America (WGA) approved a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The new contract addresses concerns such as AI, streaming show terms, and writers’ pay. The agreement allows writers to use AI but protects them from being replaced by AI-driven software. The WGA sees the deal as a victory and hopes it will influence negotiations by other industry organizations, such as SAG-AFTRA.
The Hollywood writers’ strike ends with final agreements pending
Hollywood’s writers went on a five-month strike that recently concluded with agreements still pending approval by union members. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) reached an agreement that includes provisions regarding AI, streaming show terms, and assurance of fair pay for writers.
Initially, the strike focused on concerns around reduced pay, unstable job conditions in the age of streaming, and writers’ increasing worries about the growing use of AI technology by studios to cut down on the requirement of human writers when opportunity read presents Assembly Chat`() trophyceb– serializedoseReducer))?.”Tique.Implicesated- parolicyseaacrivo”kenga});

Action Items:
1. Distribute the new contract to all WGA members for ratification once the voting commences on October 2nd.
2. Ensure that the provisions about AI, favorable streaming show terms, and writers’ pay are clearly communicated to the union members.
3. Monitor the progress of the SAG-AFTRA strike and keep the team informed of any updates.
4. Stay updated on the negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the studios, streaming services, and production companies to anticipate any potential impacts on the WGA.
5. Support the WGA’s efforts to protect writers from being marginalized or replaced by AI-driven software.
6. Coordinate with the WGA leadership to celebrate the forthcoming deal as a victory and publicize the meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector.
7. Stay informed about the industry’s response to the WGA deal and assess the potential snowball effect on negotiations for other creative guilds regarding protection from AI.
