WGA ratification ballot landing in members' mailboxes
The ballot for WGA contract ratification landed in the snail-mail boxes of many members on Saturday.
The package includes statements pro and con about the deal. But in a sign of how wiped out most people are after three months-plus on strike, the materials include no anti-deal statements and only one statement in support of the contract. That statement hails from "WGA North," described as 26 WGA members in San Francisco (insert Big Brother and the Holding Company joke here).
"We contend that this agreement is the beginning of a more equitable relationship with the AMPTP; we recognize that this relationship is a process - an ongoing creative and business collaboration," the statement reads.
Ballots are due back to the guild by Feb. 25. Members can also vote at membership meetings to be held that day in Gotham and L.A.
Thank goodness the writers strike is done with! I'm glad they got what they deserved and am also very excited for the return of television!
