The 1960 Writers Guild of America strike was the second longest writers strike in the history of the Writers Guild. It lasted 20 weeks and 6 days, just one week less than the 1988 writers strike. The strike against the producers lasted from January 16, 1960, until June 10, 1960 (agreement reached June 10, but not signed until June 12). The strike against the networks began on March 19. Negotiations were between the Writers Guild of America, west, the Writers Guild of America, East, and the Association of Motion Picture Producers.
