The Directors Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers reached an agreement on a new three-year agreement ahead of a June 30 contract expiration
Details will be released after submission of the deal to the guild's national board on Saturday.
The Directors Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television producers reached an agreement March 4 on a new three-year agreement ahead of a June 30 contract expiration, the DGA announced Thursday.Negotiations began Feb. 10 and were led for the union by Negotiations Committee Co-Chairs Jon Avnet and Todd Holland, and the Guild’s chief negotiator, National Executive Director Russell Hollander.
With regard to residuals, the DGA pact sets a pattern that will most likely end up applying to the other two guilds as well, if history is a guide. But whether the WGA, in particular, will seek better residuals terms to the extent of striking over that and other issues, is a concern that has led studios to stockpile scripts.
Mitigating against a writers strike are two factors. One is the uncertainty posed by the coronavirus-fueled COVID-19 epidemic, which could deter mass gatherings such as protests, and might shut down work or even preclude bargaining sessions, which usually involve meetings of 50 to 100 people.
