Minutes after the Writers Guild of America's deadline, a deal has been made to avoid an industry-wide writers' walkout today.
Variety reports that the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached a "tentative agreement" with the WGA just after the midnight cut-off.
The agreement will increase minimums for writers, improve contributions to health plans, better define the maximum amount of work allowed for an episode fee on short TV seasons, ensure job protection during parental leave, and increase residuals.
“Did we get everything we wanted? No." reads a WGA memo, "Everything we deserve? Certainly not. But because we had the near-unanimous backing of you and your fellow writers, we were able to achieve a deal that will net this Guild’s members $130 million more, over the life of the contract, than the pattern we were expected to accept."
