Tear Tentative Deal With Studios
Deadline • • general
Key Points:
- The Directors Guild of America (DGA) has reached a tentative four-year agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), aligning with the recent contracts signed by the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA.
- The new contract extends the previous three-year deal by one year and will be reviewed by the DGA’s National Board before being presented to its nearly 20,000 members for ratification.
- The DGA's negotiation priorities differed from those of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, focusing more on employment issues rather than urgent financial support for health and pension funds, which were critical concerns for the other unions.
- Both the DGA and the studios expressed satisfaction with the tentative agreement, emphasizing its role in promoting stability and success within the entertainment industry.
- Detailed terms of the agreement have not yet been disclosed and will be made public following the board’s review and member ratification.
