Negotiating committee of Writers Guild of America says it is evaluating offer in substantial step forward

Hollywood TV and film writers represented by the Writers Guild of America are evaluating a counterproposal from studios that would end their ongoing strike of more than 100 days, marking a substantial step forward in negotiations.

Your Negotiating Committee received a counterproposal from the AMPTP today," the guild's negotiating committee said in a statement referring to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. We will evaluate their offer and, after deliberation, go back to them with the WGA's response next week.
