SAG-AFTRA has released the full tentative 129-page contract that ended the 118-day actors’ strike, and it achieves “more than $1 billion in NEW compensation and benefit plan funding.”
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator, shared a few words alongside the release of the document you can check out in full right here.
“These contracts achieve more than $1 billion in NEW compensation and benefit plan funding (including an additional $317.2 million to the benefit plans),” Crabtree-Ireland wrote. “The contracts establish lengthy and detailed AI guardrails that didn’t exist before and do protect you as we meet the challenge of this new technology, hair and makeup equity, significantly increased background coverage, outsized streaming residuals, a new streaming success fund, and so much more. These gains are only possible because of your sacrifice, solidarity and tenacity over the 118 days of the strike and are assured if you vote to ratify the agreement.”
The contract was released as a way to urge SAG-AFTRA members to vote for the agreement by the December 5 ratification voting period deadline. If the agreement is approved, it will be in effect from November 9, 2023, through June 30, 2026.
The latest SAG-AFTRA strike was the longest in history and surpassed that 1980 strike that lasted 95 days. The most-welcome news also arrived shortly after the writers’ strike ended after 148 days.
