After a long period of negotiations, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has come back with a strong response to the recent proposal from studios and streaming companies aimed at ending the writers strike. In their message, the guild recounts how talks had progressed and then hit a wall after 113 days of the strike.

The WGA explains that they received an invitation to meet with industry bigwigs like Bob Iger, Donna Langley, Ted Sarandos, David Zaslav, and Carol Lombardini. The message accompanying the invitation conveyed a sense of urgency to put an end to the strike and suggested that the companies were finally ready to strike a deal.
