The DGA National Board has voted unanimously to approve and recommend for ratification a new three-year collective bargaining agreement, DGA president Paris Barclay announced Saturday.
“A deal like this doesn’t happen by wishful thinking. It accomplishes our most important objectives thanks to the leadership and wisdom of Negotiations co-chairs Michael Apted and Thomas Schlamme and national executive director Jay Roth,” said Barclay. “And our Negotiations Committee, made up of more than 65 members, was extraordinarily dedicated, and the DGA staff worked tirelessly for months to support this work – well before the first day of official negotiations. I thank everybody involved for their commitment and devotion to achieving a great new contract.”
