The Writers Strike Ain’t Over Until WGA Members Say So
…and now they have.
Writers Guild of America East President Michael Winship and Writers Guild of America West President Patric M. Verrone sent a letter to WGA members on Tuesday, February 12, that begins:
On Tuesday, members of the Writers Guilds East and West voted by a 92.5% margin to lift the restraining order that was invoked on November 5th. The strike is over.
Writing can resume immediately. If you were employed when the strike began, you should plan to report to work on Wednesday. If you’re not employed at an office or other work site, call or e-mail your employer that you are resuming work. If you have been told not to report to work or resume your services, we recommend that you still notify your employer in writing of your availability to do so.
That makes it official — the writers strike is now truly, deeply, and completely over.
