Casting directors in Los Angeles and New York have reached a tentative agreement on a three-year deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
The deal comes with less with a month to go on the current contract, a one-year pact that was ratified last September. That pact included a 2% hike in minimums along with gains in employer pension and health contributions.
