\n\tSAG-AFTRA<\/a>\u2018s national board is recommending the guild\u2019s latest contract with the major studios to its full membership for ratification.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe board \u201cdecisively\u201d approved the deal, tentatively sealed earlier this month<\/a>, on Monday, per the union. SAG-AFTRA did not specify how the vote shook out. Now, the membership will need to vote.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the provisions in the new TV\/Theatrical agreement, the parties agreed to merge the SAG-Producers Pension Plan and AFTRA Retirement Fund with an additional 1% to the contribution rate effective on the target completion date of January 1, 2028. The agreement also bolsters AI protections, specifically around consent and compensation, and establishes minimum rate increases.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, the agreement builds on our existing guidelines around AI including new provisions strengthening consent and compensation and establishing new and enhanced guardrails on synthetics including:<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actors union managed to reach a new agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers just one week into resumed talks<\/a>. After negotiations began on February 9, the parties had previously\u00a0paused to make way for the WGA in March<\/a>. Both guild and union sources had told Deadline that they were not far off from a deal, but a few key issues \u2014 including regarding AI measures \u2014 still needed to be ironed out.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs we reported earlier,\u00a0labor<\/a>\u00a0sources told us SAG-AFTRA has received a \u201csizable\u201d contribution to its pension fund from the AMPTP<\/a>. This follows the WGA, which similarly agreed to an extended-length contract with the studios and streamers last month in its own negotiations, accepting a multi-million contribution to its ailing healthcare plan. As with the WGA, there were a series of AI \u201cguardrail\u201d measures put in place between the SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP parties.<\/p>\n

\n\tSAG-AFTRA has not yet released the full deal. Details are expected upon ratification.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe labor news will keep on coming as the DGA steps up to the plate. The Christopher Nolan-led organization sat down with the AMPTP May 11 to begin bargaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAG-AFTRA\u2018s national board is recommending the guild\u2019s latest contract with the major studios to its full membership for…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":790556,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[9],"tags":[221526,171,606,42859,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-790555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-amptp","tag-entertainment","tag-labor","tag-sag-aftra","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116560398349210277","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790555"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/790555\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/790556"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=790555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=790555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
