These are essential protections that the companies told us, to our faces, that they would NEVER give us. But because of our solidarity, because they literally cannot make a dollar without us, they bent, then broke, and gave us what we deserve. WE WON.

We did it, Joe. We did it.

[Writers Guild of America West @WGAWest]

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

A brief description of what it’s like in the world of entertainment right now.

[Film Updates @FilmUpdates]

SAG-AFTRA’s national board will meet this morning to formally approve the launch of a strike.

It will be the first actors strike since 1980 and the first time that actors and writers have been on strike at the same time since 1960. Picketing is set to begin Friday morning.
