99% of Writers Guild of America members voted in favor of the union's new deal with the AMPTP.
The latest Writers Guild of America strike has drawn to a close. Monday, WGA officials announced union membership overwhelmingly voted in support of the guild's new deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. According to an e-mail distributed by top WGA brass, 99-percent of voters voted in favor of the new deal, while just 90 voted against the deal.
WGAE boss Lisa Takeuchi added,"Now it's time for the AMPTP to put the rest of the town back to work by negotiating a fair contract with our SAG-AFTRA siblings, who have supported writers throughout our negotiations. Until the studios make a deal that addresses the needs of performers, WGA members will be on the picket lines, walking side-by-side with SAG-AFTRA in solidarity."
