“Since we began nego­ti­a­tions in July, we’ve been saying, ‘If they get paid, we get paid.’ This con­tract makes that a reality. It’s the best deal this Guild has bar­gained for in 30 years after the most suc­cessful strike this Guild has waged in 35 years. It was arguably the most suc­cessful strike in the American labor move­ment in a decade, clearly the most impor­tant of this young cen­tury. It is not all that we hoped for, and not all that we deserved. But as I told our mem­bers, this strike was about the future, and this deal assures for us and for future gen­er­a­tions of writers a share in the future…”

This is from Nikki Finke’s blog that has been a con­stant source of strike news and updates.

The show-runners (writers/producers) return to work on Monday, the show writers are to return on Wednesday after a mem­ber­ship vote on the terms of the deal. This is great! This means The Office, and Dexter and Battlestar Galactica and everyone else will be back in action soon! Yay!
