WGA Writer's Strike Nearing an End with Tentative Deal

Variety is reporting that the Writer's Guild of America has reached a tentative agreement with the major studios that's being presented to its members today on both coasts for approval. If the Guild votes to end the strike on Sunday, writers could be back at work as early as Monday, ending the months long strike.

The 10,500 striking writers will meet at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in New York City and at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

The deal was finalized early Saturday morning after much work by lawyers to formalize the language reached for the agreement.

Insider site Deadline HOllywood Daily reports that "No decision has yet been made about lifting the strike. It is very possible member vote will be taken this week before strike is lifted. That will be decided by [WGA East] council and [WGA West] board tomorrow based on member feedback today."
