Writers return?

Los Angeles, February 11, 2008 Union leadership is backing a tentative three-year contract offer from the studios and is asking members to vote separately on whether to end the strike. Writers will meet in New York and Los Angeles tomorrow.

The proposal offers writers a share of digital media revenue, including compensation for TV shows and movies delivered over the Internet.

While one union leader says the deal isn't all they hoped for or deserve, he claims it's still the best one the guild "has bargained for in 30 years."

Writers have offered resounding support for the plan. They'll take a formal mail-in vote to ratify the contract.
