WGA Ratifies Three-year Contract, AMPTP Promises Kinder, Gentler Biz
Three months and two weeks after the start of the writers' guild strike, Hollywood (and the rest of us impatient viewers) found closure Tuesday as the guild members' vote to ratify the proposed three-year contract was announced.
In a statement, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers confirmed the ratification, and issued a call to action to get everyone fired up for production as one big happy community:
"Now that our industry is back in business, our goal is to collaborate with everyone in the industry — writers, directors, actors and stagehands alike — to produce the highest-quality entertainment products without any further interruption."
While members voted two weeks ago to lift the strike order (thus allowing writers to return to work), the big pact in question wasn't definite — until now. Let's hope the AMPTP is wholehearted and that, three years from now, we're not recycling shows again (or strike coverage). In the meantime, get ready for a kinder, gentler Hollywood. — Anna Dimond
