Writers vote to end 3-month strike that crippled Hollywood
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Striking Hollywood writers are going back to work.
The Writers Guild of America says its members voted Tuesday to end their devastating, three-month strike that brought the entertainment industry to a standstill.
Writers will go back to work Wednesday after voting in Beverly Hills and New York.
The union's board of directors approved a tentative contract Sunday giving writers a share of the growing revenue from programs offered on the internet and other new media.
Guild leaders say they are fighting for a piece of the future, as Internet-delivered entertainment is expected to claim an increasing share of the market.
