After 148 days on a gruelling strike, the WGA (Writers Guild of America) reached an agreement. When the negotiations began in spring earlier this year, the WGA made it very publicly known that they were not going to just take crumbs from the larger companies. This resulted in a complete stoppage of work, and their allies at SAG-AFTRA quickly came to their aid and began their own strike (which is still ongoing). Upon completion of the deal, the WGA made a public statement congratulating everyone who held strong during the tough times.
