Congratulations to SAG-AFTRA for reaching a Tentative Deal! I know the actors have to be breathing a sigh of relief now that this is finally settled. This is fantastic news and I really hope they got a good deal and that the A.I. issue is covered. From a statement the Actors Guild released, "In a unanimous vote this afternoon, the SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Committee approved a tentative agreement with the AMPTP bringing an end to the 118-day strike." Which means that the strike will officially ends at 12:01 a.m. Thursday.
Also from the statement, "In a contract valued at over one billion dollars, we have achieved a deal of extraordinary scope that includes "above-pattern" minimum compensation increases, unprecedented provisions for consent and compensation that will protect members from the threat of AI, and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus. Our Pension & Health caps have been substantially raised, which will bring much needed value to our plans. In addition, the deal includes numerous improvements for multiple categories including outsize compensation increases for background performers, and critical contract provisions protecting diverse communities."
"We have arrived at a contract that will enable SAG-AFTRA members from every category to build sustainable careers. Many thousands of performers now and into the future will benefit from this work."
