Writers Guild Members Vote to End Strike
LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK -- The membership of the Writers
Guild of America, West (WGAW) and the Writers Guild of
America, East (WGAE) today voted overwhelmingly in
favor of lifting the restraining order and ending
their 100-day strike that began on Nov. 5. 3,775
writers turned out in Los Angeles and New York to cast
ballots or fax in proxies, with 92.5% voting in favor
of ending the work stoppage.
"The strike is over. Our membership has voted, and
writers can go back to work," said Patric M. Verrone,
president of the Writers Guild of America, West. "This
was not a strike we wanted, but one we had to conduct
in order to win jurisdiction and establish appropriate
residuals for writing in new media and on the
Internet. Those advances now give us a foothold in the
digital age. Rather than being shut out of the future
of content creation and delivery, writers will lead
the way as TV migrates to the Internet and platforms
for new media are developed."
"The success of this strike is a significant
achievement not only for ourselves but the entire
creative community, now and in the future," said
Michael Winship, president of the Writers Guild of
America, East. "The commitment and solidarity of our
members made it happen and have been an inspiration
not only to us but the entire organized labor
movement. We will build on that energy and unity to
make our two unions stronger than ever."
WGAW and WGAE members will next vote to ratify the
tentative three-year contract with the Alliance of
Motion Picture and Television Producers. The
membership ratification vote will be conducted by mail
and also at membership meetings on February 25, 2008.
The Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) and the
Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) represent
writers in the motion picture, broadcast, cable, and
new media industries in both entertainment and news.
For more information about the Writers Guild of
America, West, please visit www.wga.org. For more
information about the Writers Guild of America, East,
