The Writers Guild of America West has reached a tentative deal with its staff union to end a lengthy strike, which became an unwanted distraction during negotiations with the major studios.

“After nearly three months of strength, unity, and resolve, WGSU members were able to secure seniority provisions in layoffs and a no-strike clause that both parties agree protects concerted activity,” the Writers Guild Staff Union said in a statement.
