I truly did not think it would be ending before 2023. Whew.

It looks like on Friday, the details of the agreement will be revealed, so it will be interesting to see how much give and take there may have been. At least those actors who have acting jobs can go back to work tomorrow. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hm, I am hearing of a mixed reaction from some members but I think it will mostly likely be approved in the end.
The stirrings of a mixed reaction may be on account of the actors not getting that percentage of the streaming that they wanted. They did, however get a sizable raise and a new residual agreement. And in 3 years, they can always try to re-negotiate.

 

 

 

 

Interesting thread:

 

#SAG Actors, I want to make you aware of some of the language in the #AI portion of the tentative SAG agreement.
Though SAG leadership made much effort to protect members in AI, there are many issues you should look at. I have saved the most serious issue for the end. 1/

Thanks for finding and sharing this. I went to Nitter so I could see the entire thread.

In some ways, it’s sort of what I alluded to in my previous post but this really fleshes out the concerns beyond what I even mentioned. I didn’t want to sound like a wet blanket, which is why I mentioned the fact that SAG-AFTRA can always look to three years in re-negotiations to further refine the terms but it is the reason why I think the WGA negotiated a deal that is a bit more forward thinking, even though SAG-AFTRA obviously got more money up front. The fact that Justine Bateman is looking to the WGA’s focus of their negotiations as a model going forward speaks to that.

This only needs 50.1 % to pass and I could see it failing but something tells me it wont. It may not pass by large percentage

🧵Dear #SagAftraMembers:

Today we close out one of the most important chapters in recent entertainment industry history. The 2023 TV/Theatrical Contracts have officially been ratified by SAG-AFTRA members by a vote of 78.33% to 21.67% with a turnout of 38.15%. (1/8) pic.twitter.com/nYg38AkmGA

It's a miracle the new contract was ratified, considering how much controversy the AI provisions had generated.

Wow, I had completely forgotten about this until this morning. This took quite some time to wind its way through the ranks, which tells me that it must have taken awhile to enough of a consensus before a final vote among the actors. Also, it’s a lot of actors to try to wrangle.

And only roughly 30% of them voted. Who are those other 70%?
