SAG-AFTRA’s national board approved the tentative agreement that was negotiated with Hollywood studios with an 86% approval vote on Friday. Union leaders Fran Drescher and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland unveiled key details of the new contract during a press conference, where they touted it as an agreement that reflects the changed nature of the entertainment industry. The ratification vote will begin on Tuesday and will go through the first week of December, and a summary of the contract will be released on Monday.
“We are exceedingly grateful for all the support from the entertainment unions throughout the strike. This victory is for all of us,” Crabtree-Ireland said.
