ET confirms that WGA members wrote a definitive ending to the 14-week writers strike, ratifying the new three-year contract by a considerable majority. When the final vote of 4,060 Guild members in NY and L.A. was tallied, 93.6 percent of the ballot-casters said "yea" to the deal, effective through May 1, 2011.
"This contract is a new beginning for writers in the Digital Age," said PATRIC M. VERRONE, president of the WGA West. "It ensures that Guild members will be fairly compensated for the content they create for the Internet, and it also covers the reuse on new media platforms of the work they have done in film since 1971 and in TV since 1977."
