The Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers have reached a tentative four-year agreement for the 2026 Minimum Basic Agreement. This agreement ensures the sustainability of the health plan with increased company contributions and addresses issues related to free work. The deal follows a summer strike in 2023 that disrupted production schedules. It also comes amid internal disputes within the WGA, including a strike by its staff union over alleged unfair labor practices. New rules regarding artificial intelligence usage are expected in the contract.
