Directors Ratify New Labor Deal as Writers Strike Continues

Film and television directors have voted to approve a new three-year contract with major studios that includes wage increases and greater residuals from streaming services.
The deal prevents simultaneous strikes from Directors, Writers and Actors guilds that could have shut down Hollywood production.
Writers have been on strike for eight weeks, halting many TV and film projects.
Actors are still negotiating their own contract with studios, which expires next week.
The directors' deal does not necessarily dictate terms for writers or actors in their own talks.
