50 Cent has shared his relief that the Writers Guild of America (WGA) reached “a tentative agreement” to end the recent Writers’ Strike.On Sunday (September 25), it was reported that both the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and WGA worked out a three-year “Minimum Basic Agreement” after four consecutive days of negotiations, pending final contract language. This decision ended the 146-day strike that has halted Hollywood and the entertainment business since May.The writers’ strike shuttered production on TV shows and films and caused late-night comedy shows in the US to go on hiatus.
The strike was called to protest unfair residuals and the changes in the ratio of work and money writers receive as streaming has impacted TV.In a tweet, The WGA West wrote: “This was made possible by the enduring solidarity of WGA members and extraordinary support of our union siblings who stood with us for over 146 days. More details coming after contract language is finalized.”Taking a screengrab of the Hollywood Reporter‘s article on the resolution and posting it on his Instagram feed, 50 Cent captioned: “I’m glad this shit is over, check Expendables 4 in theaters now! and catch [Power Book IV: Force] season 2 the best shit on TV right now [bomb emoji] BOOM [wind emoji] GLG [traffic lights emoji] GreenLightGang back in action.”A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)In an email to its members, the WGA’s negotiating committee said: “We can say, with great pride, that this deal is exceptional – with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.” However: “To be clear, no one is to return to work until specifically authorized to by the Guild.
