The SAG-AFTRA National Board overwhelmingly approved its new bargaining agreement with Netflix on Monday, sending it to members for a ratification vote. The new agreement is a follow-up to the 2019 contract that marked the first agreement between the actors union and the streaming studio, but it will also be the last one made exclusively between the two sides.
As part of the agreement, Netflix will join the bargaining unit run by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers after quietly joining the organization last year, and all future contract negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and Netflix will be done concurrently with AMPTP talks. Among the gains won by SAG-AFTRA are new exclusivity rules for series regulars on Netflix shows that give actors more flexibility to sign on to projects from other studios.
The deal creates a new “conflict-free window” of at least three months during each season, in which performers may accept a permitted appearance on another show or network without first confirming availability and potential scheduling with Netflix.Other gains include an expansion of the bargaining agreement for dubbing voice work to include Spanish dubbing, and the first fixed residual payment guarantees for stunt coordinators. “I was proud to chair these talks and to be in the room as it happened.
