Agreement includes gains in wages and residuals as writers remain on strike
During the last WGA strike in 2007 and 2008, a studio deal with the DGA prompted writers to head back to the bargaining table. On Friday, WGA negotiator Chris Keyser argued that strategy would not work this time.
The DGA's board will consider whether to approve the deal on Tuesday before it goes to members for ratification. No date has been set for the ratification vote. WGA representatives did not respond to requests for comment on Sunday, but some writers voiced reaction on social media.Writer Bill Wolkoff said he had mixed emotions. “Happy for gains DGA members made, frustrated we were stonewalled on all our asks. My resolve is only stronger,” he wrote.
AI has emerged as a major concern of writers and actors, who see their jobs as especially vulnerable to the new technology.
