The New York Times: One of the longest labor crises in Hollywood history is finally coming to an end.
SAG-AFTRA, the union representing tens of thousands of actors, reached a tentative deal for a new contract with entertainment companies on Wednesday, clearing the way for the $134 billion American movie and television business to swing back into motion.

I am glad that the strike is finally over. Even though I was not really affected at all by the strike, I still feel very relieved that it is over. I can not believe that this was the longest strike in the union’s history. However, it does in fact feel as though this has been going on for so long, far longer than just 118 days. As the article has addressed, there have been so many adverse effects due to this that will continue to impact Hollywood well after this strike. I do wonder how this strike will continue to affect the industry, especially how the relationships between studios and actors will be affected. I feel like there is definitely some work to be done to repair relationships and return back to some kind of new normal. It will be interesting to see if things will be improved for workers within the industry and if I will be able to see those effects when it becomes time for me to work.
