The Writers Association of America has reached a preliminary agreement with the producers that the nearly five-month general strike is expected to end.

CTOnews.com September 25 news, the American Writers Association (WGA) and the American Federation of Film and Television producers (AMPTP) reached a preliminary agreement on the new contract on the 24th local time, and the screenwriting strike, which has lasted for nearly 5 months, is expected to come to an end.

The three-year labor agreement still needs to be approved by the leadership of the American Writers Association (WGA) and union members, and the association has made it clear that all its members will continue to strike until an end to the strike is announced. WGA, who represents 11500 film and television writers, called the deal "extraordinary" and "brought meaningful benefits and protection to the writers".

CTOnews.com previously reported that about 11500 film and television writers went on strike on May 2 this year after negotiations between the Writers Association of America and producers on issues such as higher wages and the use of artificial intelligence broke down.

It is worth mentioning that although the writers' strike may end, the American Film and Television Actors Association (SAG-AFTRA) and the American Federation of Film and Television producers also failed to reach an agreement on a new contract on July 14. About 65000 actors joined the strike. Currently, the American Film and Television Actors Association and the producers have not yet reached an agreement.
