Staffers who belong to the Writers Guild of America East have voted to ratify a contract that offers some employment safeguards if the newsroom adopts the technology, the union announced on Tuesday.

The powerful writers’ union’s board of directors “voted unanimously to recommend the agreement,” it said in a statement, adding “the strike ends at 12:01am” Los Angeles time on Wednesday.

The annual awards show occurred Saturday with celebrities like Jon M. Chu, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and RaMell Ross in attendance.
