"Directors Guild Secures Matching Streaming Bonus in Revised Contract"

The Directors Guild of America has retroactively secured the same streaming success bonus and access to streaming platform viewing data that the Writers Guild of America won after their 2023 strike, without having to go on strike themselves. Additionally, the union has improved employer contribution rates to its pension and health plans in the second and third years of its contract, as well as negotiated pay increases and improved wages for certain director roles. This move comes after the DGA faced criticism for not joining the actors and writers on strike in 2023, and the union has stated that they will continue to fight for their members' rights.

The Impending Writers' Strike and Its Impact on Hollywood Production.

As the Writers Guild of America (WGA) approaches a potential strike, entertainment unions have issued statements of solidarity, but their contracts contain "no-strike" clauses that prevent them from participating in a work stoppage. However, workers individually have a right to engage in "sympathy strikes," which can open them up to consequences such as temporary or permanent replacements on the job. Entertainment unions have advised members on their rights and obligations if faced with a picket line, with some allowing workers to honor lawful picket lines and others warning of potential breach of contract claims or termination.
