Hollywood screenwriters have voted to end their three-month-long strike over new media royalties, bringing an end to the US entertainment industry's most damaging dispute for 20 years.
The dispute forced the postponement or cancellation of television shows and films, and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.
The strike also led to the cancellation of the Golden Globes awards ceremony.
The back-to-work order was back by 92.5% of Writers Guild of America members and followed union leaders' endorsement of their contract settlement with the studios.
Members of the guild will vote at a later date on a proposed three-year contract, which would give writers new payments for work streamed on the internet and double the money they earn for TV shows and films resold as downloads. The contract would also cover made-for-web content.
