This week the Writers Guild of Ameria (WGA) board approved a tentative contract that would end the 100+ day writer’s strike. 97% of the members of the guild voted to end the strike after the WGA negotiated a new Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA) increasing minimum rates paid to writers and covering–for the first time–writing done for “New Media” or used in new media.
The WGA members will have until February 26th to vote to ratify the new MBA.
