writers strike 2023 when will it end

The 2023 Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike officially ended on September 27, 2023, after lasting 148 days. The WGA leadership voted unanimously to lift the strike restraining order and allow members to return to work following a tentative agreement with Hollywood studios and streaming platforms. This preliminary agreement included salary increases, protections against the use of artificial intelligence, and improved benefits. The union members then voted to ratify the contract from October 2 to 9, with a 99% approval rating confirmed in October 2023.
