The WGA has finalized its tentative agreement with the majors and will present details of the pact to members today in meetings in Los Angeles and New York.
Those meetings — set for the Crowne Plaza in Gotham and the Shrine in Los Angeles — are expected to serve as a barometer for WGA leaders to determine whether the deal’s acceptable to the 10,500 striking writers.

The WGA West board of directors and the WGA East Council will meet Sunday to formally endorse the contract. And writers could be back at work as early Monday, depending on whether the WGA’s ruling bodies decide whether to end the three-month strike at those Sunday meetings.

If approved, the deal will run through May 1, 2011.

Yup, the news crew has been following this story closely, and I'll post the news when the strike is officially over (no use doing anything until it's all said and done).

It looks promising, but a tentative deal means nothing until both parties sign on it. The voting lasts 48 hours from the meetings last night, so we should know by tomorrow night or tuesday morning if the strike is officially over.
