Eisner Says The Writers Strike Is Over

Could it be that our prayers have been answered? Is the writers strike really over? According to former Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner, it is! Eisner broke the news this evening on CNBC’s Fast money, saying “It’s over. They made the deal, they shook hands on the deal. It's going on Saturday to the writers in general.”

If Eisner speaks the truth then this is great news. The CNBC article did mention that Eisner seemed to hesitate when considering the possibility that the writers might reject the deal but apparently he then went on to say that the deal was in fact made and that the writers would be back to work soon. No details were given as to the terms of the deal.

We can only hope that Eisner hasn’t spoken too soon. In fact, I’m hesitant to get excited over this news just yet because less than an hour ago Variety reported that there is supposed be some big meeting on Saturday and the official decision on whether or not to call off the strike isn't supposed to happen until then.
