Performers’ union SAG-AFTRA and major motion picture and television studios reached agreement Wednesday on a new three year TV/theatrical deal, the parties announced Thursday, capping six weeks of bargaining via videoconference.
The union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers had been operating under a press blackout since talks began April 27.
The current contract expires June 30. The new agreement now goes to the SAG-AFTRA national board for review, and then to members for a ratification vote.
The talks were led by union president Gabrielle Carteris, chairing its negotiating committee, and national executive director David White, serving as SAG-AFTRA’s chief negotiator.
