SAG-AFTRA Members Approve New Contract, Resolving Labor Dispute
SAG-AFTRA, the actors' guild, has ratified a new TV and film contract with the studios, following a strike that lasted 118 days. The agreement, which received a 78.33% approval from members, includes gains of over $1 billion and protections around the use of artificial intelligence technology. The contract also strengthens benefit plans and aims for equitable treatment of all members. Despite some dissent among members, SAG-AFTRA leadership believes that the gains made in this contract lay the groundwork for a better industry.
