"The deal will be four years long instead of the standard three-year deal, focusing on key changes such as health care improvements and AI protections."
"One of the key changes the WGA was fighting for was an improvement in its health care plans, demanding an increase in contributions to their Health Fund and Pension Plan."
"The deal also alleges an increase in fees and residuals for streaming, addressing concerns that have been raised by union members."
"Union members still need to approve the tentative deal, and there is no word on when the vote would take place."
The Writers Guild of America has reached a tentative four-year agreement with studios and streamers. Key changes include improvements to health care plans, increased contributions to the Health Fund and Pension Plan, AI protections, and higher fees and residuals for streaming. The previous contract expired on May 1, and union members must approve the tentative deal, with no strike authorization requested this time. The WGA West has been on strike for about seven weeks, complicating the situation for organizing a writers' strike.
