The Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike has officially come to an end, just two days after the union reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). WGA leaders voted unanimously on Tuesday to authorize its members to return to work, thus ending the strike after an astounding 148 days.
"The WGAW Board and WGAE Council also voted to lift the restraining order and end the strike as of 12:01 am PT/3:01 am ET on Wednesday, September 27th," the WGA wrote online. "This allows writers to return to work during the ratification process, but does not affect the membership's right to make a final determination on contract approval."
