After months of protesting, actors union SAG-AFTRA said it has reached a tentative deal with entertainment companies and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on new employment terms for Hollywood creators.
The union sent a message to its members Wednesday writing,"We are thrilled and proud to tell you that today voted unanimously to approve a tentative agreement.""We will be in touch in the coming days with information about celebration gatherings around the country," the statement to members read. "The deal includes numerous improvements for multiple categories including outsize compensation increases for background performers, and critical contract provisions protecting diverse communities," the union said.
Late last month SAG-AFTRA warned its members not to lose sight of the goal the organization had set out to achieve during its historic protest to gain leverage with entertainment companies.
