Good for them, as long as the rank-and-file are satisfied with the gains they’ve made, they deserve to live out from under the umbrella of economic precarity
man, I wish they could have bled these lich-beings dry 
I think the good bit is that, since a writing is one of the first stages of a cinema project, a lot of the damage has already been done but will only be felt in the long term and lots films will be either rushed or delayed.
Think of any pre-production movie that has been announced before the strike. Say the Avatar Aang animated film that was announced back in 2022. They'll probably have their (frankly weirdly specific) release date delayed because no writing was done on it for the better part of an year. And not to mention all the logistical issues from all the interproduction disruption. Good luck reshooting Avengers Postgame in this tight schedule.
There's power in a union! One question I've always had is, why do entertainment industry unions like SAG and WGA call themselves "guilds" instead of "unions"?
From what I gather, technically it's due to them being independent contractors rather than employees. So for example the Stage Employees union IATSE is more like an union because the workers are employed under their specific employers, while writers and actors jump around from studio to studio and their collective bargaining needs to take that into account. But in practice it's more of a historical thing and they're usually called a union.
obsessively pressing F5 on the wgacontract2023.org website has been my substitute for Netflix this year.
Doesn't SAG need to reach a deal too before the production of slop can resume?
Edit: Ah ok, the article mentions that resolution for SAG is expected pretty soon too now. So, lots to potentially celebrate here, assuming the terms are as good as the negotiating team seems to think.
Ofc, but the WGA deal could provide a framework for the resolution of the SAG strike, depending on the terms
