The strike by Hollywood writers came to a conclusion at midnight Pacific time (07:00 GMT) on Wednesday, concluding nearly five months of industrial action. The Writers Guild of America (WGA) issued a statement indicating that union leaders unanimously voted to lift the restraining order and bring the strike to an end. The next step involves the 11,500 WGA members voting on a proposed three-year agreement that includes salary increases and safeguards related to the utilization of artificial intelligence.
