The Hollywood Reporter • • general
Key Points:
- SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, avoiding the threat of a strike in Hollywood.
- The agreement covers motion pictures, scripted primetime TV, streaming content, and new media, but specific terms have not yet been disclosed.
- Key negotiation topics included generative AI standards for consent and compensation, with SAG-AFTRA aiming to ensure AI-generated performers are compensated comparably to human actors.
- The union also prioritized improving member compensation to address cost-of-living increases and healthcare qualification challenges.
- The tentative deal now awaits approval from SAG-AFTRA’s National Board and will subsequently be subject to a member ratification vote.
