Writers Accept New Contract
Less than half voted but new deal goes through
Font Size:

(February 27, 2008) - Overwhelming but not unanimous.

That's the final vote by members of the Writers Guild of America to accept a new contract.

About 94 percent of the more than 4,000 votes cast in Los Angeles and New York were in favor.

That means fewer than half the writers who were eligible to vote did so.

It's hard to tell if those who didn't vote were protesting the contract or if they just didn't bother to vote.

Either way, a union leader says "this contract is a new beginning for writers in the digital age.

It ensures that guild members will be fairly compensated for the content they create for the Internet."

The 100-day strike by writers against producers and studios had devastated the entertainment industry.
