False starts, secret talks: Insiders tell how the writers’ strike ended with ‘Let’s make a deal’

From the Los Angeles Times:

As the bitter, months-long strike by the Writers Guild of America against the major media companies spilled into September, neither side could agree on whose turn it was to make the next proposal.

Negotiations were tied in knots for weeks. Then, finally, the breakthrough came.

It’s over all but the Guild membership voting … which is a lock for approval. And so the celebration was on last night as the Guild members met at the Hollywood Palladium.

WGA spokespeople were out in force to drive home the message: WE WON!

Adam Conover appeared The Ankler podcast and The Town podcast.

WGA Chiefs Ellen Stutzman and Meredith Stiehm interviewed by Deadline.

It’s a great day to be a WGA writer.

Now for SAG-AFTRA.
