Directors Guild Makes New Deal with Studios, Despite Low Voter Turnout
confirmed it had ratified a new version of the agreement they struck with the AMPTP at the start of June. What’s been called an “overwhelming margin” of votes in favor of it isn’t quite true: of the 16,321 eligible voting members, only a reported 41% actually voted. That 87% number is coming from that turnout, which means that ultimately, it was 35% of the DGA overall who were in favor of the deal.
Glatter continued by saying that the DGA remained in solidarity with the WGA, SAG-AFTRA, and “all crew members in our shared fight to move our industry forward. We support the actors who are in negotiations and the writers who remain on strike, and we will stand with the IA and Teamsters. [...] We won’t be satisfied until we all have fair contracts that reward us for our creative work — we must create a vibrant, sustainable industry that fairly values us all.
