Los Angeles - Members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) voted overwhelmingly Tuesday evening to end their over three-month-long strike, meaning that most were back at work writing television show and movie scripts on Wednesday. The WGA said that 92.5% of votes cast were in favor of ending the strike; members will next vote on Feb. 25 to ratify the tentative three-year contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). "The strike is over. Our membership has voted, and writers can go back to work," said Patric M. Verrone, president of the Writers Guild of America, West.
