The Fox picket line was as energetic as ever on Tuesday, September 26, with writers and actors walking the line with STAR WARS-themed signs, shirts, and elaborate costumes (in honor of a long-planned STAR WARS day)…and a potential end to the WGA strike around the corner.
After more than 140 days on strike, the writers guild and the AMPTP came to a tentative agreement for a new contract on Sunday, September 24. (It was officially approved by the board hours after this picket, with them voting to end the strike as of 12:01 AM PT on Wednesday, September 27.) The guilds didn’t picket on Monday—due to Yom Kippur—making the Tuesday event the first time they were able to (officially) reunite to show their united front amid forward movement for the WGA.
