SAG-AFTRA & Studio CEOs Meeting Over; Guild Brass Conferring On “Historic” Contract Proposal From AMPTP
04.11.2023 - 21:47 / deadline.com
EXCLUSIVE: Today’s meeting between SAG-AFTRA and an expanded group of studio CEOs has just ended as the guild scrutinizes the AMPTP‘s long awaited response to their last comprehensive counter.
On this 114th day of the actors strike, the top brass from Netflix, Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount, Amazon, Sony, Warner Bros Discovery and more spoke with SAG-AFTRA leaders by zoom for approximately an hour to discuss the new document. “This is a full package, forward looking and fair,” a studio insider told Deadline of what the execs put on the virtual table.
“CEOs told them this was a historic package for the guild including strong AI protections,” said an exec close to the negotiations. “SAG-AFTRA now needs to get back to us,” another studio vet stated of where things are.
Currently, guild president Fran Drescher, chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland and other members of SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee are going over the AMPTP’s response and conferring on next steps,, we hear. Whether that will result in further discussions later today or tomorrow, November 5, is unclear at the moment. “We’ve all come a long way, so taking the time to go over the guts of this (the proposal) and the fine print is the only responsible way to approach this now,” a well-positioned guild member noted.
The package from the studios is said to include, but not be limited to, the highest wage increase in 40 years, and a 100% increase in performance compensation bonuses for high budget streaming series and movies. As well, so-called “full” AI protections are in there. The last measure “goes a long way to what SAG wanted,” an industry vet says.
“We didn’t just come toward you, we came all the way to you,” Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos is said
