Hollywood Writer's Strike Nears End?

CRChair and I were bemoaning only yesterday the lack of news on progress for the Hollywood writers, and now there is news that progress may actually have been made. Apparently, while the writers and hollywood studios have been mostly posing for cameras, the unsung middleman - the agent - has been working hard to get the cash flowing again.

"It's already done, basically," the insider describes. That's because of the weeks worth of groundwork by the Hollywood agents working the writers guild leadership on one side, and the studio and network moguls on the other. I was told not to expect an agreement this week. But my source thought it was possible that the strike could be settled before Christmas.

While the writer's strike is hardly on the same level as any strike that actually impacts SERVICE, it is nice to see that Hollywood is not COMPLETELY incapable of resolving its own problems. At least its labor problems. When it comes to quality, the jury is still very much out.
