The strike began on July 25, 2023 and a tentative agreement was reached on November 8. It officially ended on December 5, 2023 with a yes vote of 78%.
Despite disagreements over the final deal, the result was a major relief for union leaders and the entertainment industry after a grueling few months of strike action.
The boycott coincided with the WGA strike, which lasted from May 2 to September 27.
