WGA: 48-hour vote to end the strike
Variety.com just posted the updates on the WGA strike, after the meetings in NY and LA:
“WGA members will have the chance to vote on whether to end the strike under an expedited 48-hour voting process, WGA leaders told members during Saturday’s night’s meeting to detail the contract deal just reached with the majors.
That means scribes technically will not be back to work on Monday, as had been widely expected in recent days. However, numerous members attending the meeting - which drew about 3,000 to the Shrine Auditorium — said many people will unofficially be prepping projects and scripts.
The WGA negotiating committee, the WGA West board of directors and the WGA East Council will meet Sunday to formally endorse the contract and set the launch of the 48-hour vote to lift the strike. The ruling bodies are also expected to approve official launching a member ratification vote that would take place over 10 days.
The news of the 48-hour vote to end the strike took many attending the meeting by surprise. Many had speculated that the WGA leaders would issue a back-to-work order Sunday in order to minimize further damage to the TV season and pilot season.
But WGA leaders apparently decided that going to the membership to end the strike would ease the potential problem of telling members to return to work before the new contract is ratified.
The Shrine powwow began about a half-hour after is skedded start time of 7 pm and lasted roughly two and a half hours. Dozens of members were still flowing in to the Shrine as late as 7:45 pm.
According to several attendees, enthusiasm was running very high in the room at the outset. WGA leaders Patric Verrone and David Young received standing ovations and signifigant applause in their opening remarks. Young has done most of the talking in the first hour, walking members through the contract deal points that were distributed on paper to members at the meeting, as well as by email earlier today. “

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope to god they vote to end it
I do like Heroes and I do wish it would come back with the writers being treated fairly, but I feel like it’s going to be my birthday and I’m not getting the presents I wanted. Ya know?
Azalea
Yay!…but I still don’t want to wait until September for season 3. I think that they should stay on the safer side and just have the last three episodes be background episodes(like Company Man). I want an entire one of Sylar, Hiro, and the last one of Mohinder.
EVIL OTTO
i like the way Azalea is thinking.that would be awesome if each character had there own episode…hmm thats kinda like LOST
