AFTRA & Studios Extend Negotiations Into Next Week
Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have agreed to extend their contract negotiations into the week of March 9, marking the final extension before other industry talks begin.
- If no agreement is reached by next week, SAG-AFTRA will have to wait until June to resume talks, after the AMPTP completes negotiations with the WGA and DGA.
- Both parties have maintained a media blackout during negotiations, but sources indicate progress has been made, prompting the extension.
- Despite movement, significant differences remain on key issues, with ongoing proposal exchanges aimed at bridging gaps to potentially secure a deal next week.
