American screenwriters have accepted a new collective agreement with the major Hollywood studios by a clear majority. 99 percent of writers’ union members were in favor of the agreement, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) announced on Monday (local time). During the ratification process, 8,435 members voted in favor of the new treaty, 90 were against it.
During the nearly five-month writers’ strike, the WGA board approved a tentative agreement on September 26 between the union and major studios and streaming providers in the US. The members of the union, which has more than 11,000 members, then had to vote.
According to the WGA, the new deal is valid until May 2026. The contract includes wage increases, regulations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and higher subsidies for pension and healthcare. (sda/dpa)
