WGA West Staff Union Says Tentative Deal Reached After Nearly 3 Months On Strike

The WGA West appears to have finally reached a tentative agreement with its staff union.

The Writers Guild Staff Union said on Friday that they’d reached a deal on their first union contract with their employers after nearly three months on the picket line. Now, the agreement will be put to the full 116-member bargaining unit for ratification.

Deadline has reached out to the WGA West for comment. The guild confirmed the deal in a short note to its own members on Friday, writing: “We congratulate the staff union on the tentative agreement, which is subject to ratification by members of the bargaining unit. We will send more information about the ratification vote and the date striking staff will return to work as the process unfolds, including when the building at 7000 W. 3rd will reopen and when Guild screenings and other events will resume. We appreciate your patience during this period.”
