Writers reach tentative deal Writers settle with 4 companies 'Breakthrough' in writers strike Strike: Hopes for new contract

Los Angeles - Leaders of Hollywood's screenwriters union have endorsed a deal to end the entertainment industry's bitter three-month long strike, union officials said on Sunday.

Writers Guild of America board members in New York and Los Angeles approved the new contract after meeting on Sunday and will now hold a vote of the union's members early next week to approve the decision.

With widespread support for the agreement, writers are expected to be back at their keyboards by Wednesday, bringing to a close the most serious labor dispute to hit the US entertainment industry in decades.

Writers went on strike on November 5, forcing the postponement or cancellation of several popular television shows and movies, and causing hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.
