Hey @GavinNewsom go sign SB 799 so striking workers can qualify for unemployment benefits. Without it, companies have a wildly unfair upper hand. What’s taking so long? Need a pen? About 11500 (formerly striking) writers will happily lend you one.

The WGA reached a tentative agreement with the AMPTP. Today, our Negotiating Committee, WGAW Board, and WGAE Council all voted unanimously to recommend the agreement. The strike ends at 12:01 am. Check out our deal at https://t.co/c0ULMXhPL7. #WGAStrong

"All writers working for streaming platforms must enjoy decent terms and conditions and the best way to achieve these is through union agreements – our work here will continue," Writers Guild of Great Britain chair Lisa Holdsworth said. https://t.co/n0uYjSWAjB

[Writers Guild of America East @WGAEast]

The WGA and AMPTP have reached a tentative agreement. This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized. #WGAstrike

[Lauren Barnett @laurbarnett]

So impressed by and grateful to my guild. It’s been a wild 146 days. To my @sagaftra comrades, thank you for standing with us from the beginning. We’ll be by your side til your fight ends.

[Ellen Stutzman @ellenstutzman]

I will have many things to say… But for now let me shine the light on you brilliant writers who brought solidarity and resolve to another level in this 146 day fight. #wgastrong ain’t just a hashtag. Now it’s SAG-AFTRA’s time and we got them. 💪🏼

[Bruce Miller @BrooseMiller]

Or what? They go on strike, too?

[Lauren Barnett @laurbarnett]

Surely the studios and @WGAWest @WGAEast being back at the table on the same day @taylorswift13 reveals the 1989 vault tracks is a good sign? Right? Right? Right.

[Julia Fontana @julia_fontana]

If, like me, you like to wait until the last couple of days to vote for WGA candidates on the off (but not nonexistent) chance that one of them will be revealed to be a serial killer or something worse right after you voted for them, VOTE TODAY! Or tomorrow! By noon!

[Julia Fontana @julia_fontana]

Wow. Again, thank you for the wisdom, David. Fellow writers, we should handle this like we oughta handle everything else in the business: no getting hopes up! Nothing's real till it's happened and in the rearview mirror.

[The Writers' Guild @TheWritersGuild]

Our motion calls for recognition of the valuable contribution writers make to the UK economy and cultural and creative sector, fairer pay for writers working for streamers + an end to buy out agreements

Feels like we’ve hit the dark night of the soul act in this movie. Which means… the showdown and victory are next.

They meant it

[Lauren Barnett @laurbarnett]

@nlpaulhus Right?! I noticed this a couple years ago, also at a wedding. I was the poser at the concert who didn’t know the right lyrics to the song.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The wealth gap is the greatest it’s ever been. Right wing politicians and CEO’s loath unions because they know it’s the only way to balance that gap. Show solidarity for fellow unions struggling to balance the massive economic inequalities that are pervasive now. Change will only come from us. #unionstrong

I’m a showrunner who is very much for this and knows that there were thousands of survey responses from WGA members who did, in fact, ask for it.

[Lauren Barnett @laurbarnett]

@KVeraDisavino So…“prominent showrunner” is Taylor Sheridan, right?
