Writers Guild Sends Proposed Contract to Members for Ratification

The Writers Guild sent its proposed new contract with Hollywood TV and film producers to its members for ratification.

WGA West President Chris Keyser and WGA East President Michael Winship said in a letter to the Guild's membership that the boards of the union's two wings have approved the new three-year deal for primetime TV and feature film and unanimously recommended ratification.

The WGA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached a tentative agreement. The current pact runs out on May 1. Members can approve or reject the contract by voting online, by mail (after requesting a paper ballot) or at membership meetings in New York and Los Angeles on April 29.
