The AMPTP (studio alliance) is running an ad in tomorrow's LA Times. Here's the text:
“This is the BEST DEAL the guild has bargained for in 30YEARS.”
Patric M. Verrone, President of WGAW
“This has been a great ACHIEVEMENT for the DGA.”
Michael Apted, President of DGA
“This is a SOLID DEAL... another groundbreaking agreement for AFTRA.”
Roberta Reardon, President of AFTRA
“Two words describe this agreement–GROUNDBREAKING and SUBSTANTIAL.”
Gil Cates, Chairman of the DGA’s Contract-Negotiating Committee
THE DEAL
let’s keep working
A FIFTH MAJOR LABOR AGREEMENT THIS YEAR • AN INCREASE OF $250 MILLION FOR SAG MEMBERS OVER THREE YEARS • SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC GAINS IN MINIMUMS, PENSION AND HEALTH CONTRIBUTIONS, AND TERMS FOR WORKING ACTORS • THE SAME GROUNDBREAKING NEW MEDIA TERMS THAT HAVE ALREADY SERVED AS THE CORNERSTONE OF FOUR OTHER MAJOR LABOR AGREEMENTS THIS YEAR.
