WGA Membership Overwhelmingly Ratify New Contract (Deadline Hollywood)

> � April 27th, 2011 To Our Fellow Members: We are pleased to announce that
our joint memberships have ratified our new contract with the AMPTP by an
overwhelming majority. With a total of 1,952 valid ballots cast, 90.7 percent
voted in favor of ratification. The term of the new deal is from May 2, 2011
through May 1, 2014. We move forward knowing that the significant gains we
made in employer contributions to our pension plan better enable it to meet
its obligations for the foreseeable future and that we?ve secured increases
for reuse payments in Pay TV and increases in minimums. We wish, once again,
to thank the negotiating committee and the members who participated in the
outreach meetings, surveys, and committees that helped to formulate our
proposals for the 2011 negotiations. Thanks to you, with the ratification of
the 2011 MBA complete, we can now look ahead to the challenges that remain and
continue to fight for the rights of our members. In Solidarity, John Wells
President, WGAW Michael Winship President, WGAE
