Negotiations over the latest version of the agreement began several weeks ago between unions and the negotiating entity for studios and streamers, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
When reached before the extension, legal sources said their producer and director clients still plan on instructing productions to comply with protocols outlined in the current agreement regardless of whether they are loosened.
Meanwhile, performers’ union SAG-AFTRA has been having its own internal debates over the agreement. The union has an outspoken faction that opposes the fact that the return-to-work agreement empowers producers to impose vaccine mandates on “Zone A” if they wish. On Sept. 10, it held a meeting for its national board to discuss vaccine requirements on certain productions.
