AP (and everybody else) has the report on a possible resolution to the Writer's strike. The rank-and-file membership will see the deal today and the WGA could potentially be back at work on Monday. Two interesting lines from the article:
"I believe it is a good deal. I am going to be recommending this deal to our membership," Michael Winship, president of the Writers Guild of America, East, told reporters before the New York meeting at a Times Square hotel.
"Much has been achieved, and while this agreement is neither perfect nor perhaps all that we deserve for the countless hours of hard work and sacrifice, our strike has been a success," guild leaders Winship and Patric Verrone, head of the Writers Guild of America, West, said in an e-mailed message to members.
We have several people here who know the intricacies of the situation better than I, so I won't get into it much. But from what I understand, it does indeed qualify as imperfect but significant. |
