SAG-AFTRA members ratifies contract following four-month strike
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - SAG-AFTRA members have officially ratified the tentative deal reached with Hollywood studios.
The agreement, reached back in early November, ended a grueling 118-day strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
On Tuesday, SAG-AFTRA said the deal was approved in a vote of just over 78% to about 22%. Turnout was about 38%.
Under the deal, union members will receive pay increases along with protections around artificial intelligence (AI) technology, a first for the SAG-AFTRA.
The new contact is set to last three years, expiring June 30, 2026.
