SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher has told her members that as the union prepares for its upcoming contract negotiations, which start June 7: “It is essential that we reshape our agreement to better reflect the new digital and streaming business model...”
Turning to SAG-AFTRA’s preparations for its upcoming negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, she wrote:
“Even while we are showing strong public support to our sister union, we are privately finalizing and preparing for our own negotiations. Let me unpack that process briefly so you can feel confident that no stone has been left unturned. “Wages and working conditions meetings across the nation went on for weeks, after which each local presented their top member concerns. Over an unprecedented seven days, the Wages and Working Conditions Plenary Committee vetted every single submission. We called in member experts to speak on issues impacting every member category.
“It was important to us all that we had a complete understanding of the wants and needs of all the members, each of whom will be profoundly impacted by the outcome of this negotiation. Our National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland and Chief Contracts Officer Ray Rodriguez were right there throughout the plenary helping determine our approach to these negotiations which will be life-changing for our members.
“We are fortunate to have this collaborative and brilliant team adapting our wants and needs into a tight, innovative and aggressive negotiating package.”
