HOLLYWOOD STRIKE STARTS ON MONDAY
LATEST: Officials at the Writers Guild of America will be walking out on strike on Monday (05Nov07), bringing Hollywood to a virtual standstill.
Board members have voted unanimously to strike as of 12:01am on Monday, marking the first walkout in 20 years.
The "inevitable" strike comes after union bosses and TV and film producers failed to come to an agreement over royalties for programmes distributed over the Internet.
The union’s most recent strike, in 1988, lasted over five months.
