146 Days
The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. It took 146 days to get there. And part of me, having seen what Business Affairs can do to an agreement and how much red pen it takes to get a contract to actually resemble what was agreed to verbally, I’m pretty sure it will take more days to hammer out “contract speak” in the actual Minimum Basic Agreement. But. We are there.
Writers have won.
It sounds like a real win too. Not the lackluster win of 2008. A real win in 2023. Yay!
PS: Now it is SAG-AFTRA’s turn. We got your back, SAG-AFTRA. Go, SAG-AFTRA go!
