are on the verge of getting back to work after months on strike. Actors, meanwhile, wait in the wings for their own resolution.Crucial steps remain for the writers, who technically remain on strike, and for other workers awaiting a return to production of new shows. The next phase comes Tuesday, when the governing boards of the two branches of the Writers Guild of America are expected to vote on the tentative agreement reached by union negotiators with Hollywood studios.
That could prompt a delay in Tuesday’s voting and has kept union leaders from sharing with writers the details of what nearly five months of striking and hardship have earned them. The leaders have promised a series of meetings later this week when writers can learn about the terms of the deal regarding pay, show staffing, and control of artificial intelligence in storytelling.The guild’s leaders told them only that the agreement was "exceptional," with gains for every member.
