  Four takeaways from the WGA deal to end the writers’ strike https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-09-26/writers-strike-deal-wga-amptp-takeways-ai-pay-residuals

increases in wages and residuals,

demands for minimum staff in television writers rooms, (TV seasons have gotten shorter and writers rooms have shrunk. That has meant fewer opportunities for writers, who have to cobble together one job after another to make a living)

payments based on the success of streaming shows (The contract establishes a system of providing bonuses to writers based on viewership on streaming services. ) and

protections against the use of artificial intelligence .(The new WGA contract includes language that regulates the studios’ use of AI but also provides flexibility to the guild’s members. Companies must disclose to writers if any material given to a writer has been generated by AI or incorporates AI-generated material, according to the guild’s document.)

This contract—won with the power of member solidarity and our union siblings over a 148-day strike—incorporates meaningful gains and protections for writers in every segment of the membership. Prior to the strike, the companies refused to engage on most issues.
