As reported by the Hollywood press, the SAG-AFTRA actor strike has ended with a tentative three year agreement reached. The union announced the strike will official end at 12:01 a.m. (PT) on Thursday morning.
Hopefully, with now both the writers’ and actors’ strikes ended, production will resume and bring work back for the many behind the scenes production professionals. We congratulate the unions on their successful efforts to negotiate for their members in the changing landscape of film and television production for both now and in the future.
DEADLINE reported the following:
After 118 days of the actors guild being out on strike, SAG-AFTRA and the studios on Wednesday reached a tentative deal on a new contract that could see Hollywood up and running again within weeks.
The strike will be over as of 12:01 a.m. PT on Thursday, November 9, we hear.
Culminating a dramatic day of studio earnings results and deadline ultimatums, the actors guild’s 17-member negotiating committee unanimously voted this afternoon to recommend a tentative agreement to the SAG-AFTRA board.
Specific details of the deal are expected to be revealed when the agreement goes to the board Friday.
