SAG Still Reviewing Contract Offer
Posted on: Thursday, 3 July 2008, 12:00 CDT
The Screen Actors Guild said it plans to continue reviewing over the next few days a new contract proposed by Hollywood's TV and film producers.
The SAG national negotiating committee met with Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers negotiators Wednesday to discuss a series of what it called substantive questions regarding the employers' proposed package.
Guild negotiators and staff will further analyze and review the AMPTP's responses over the next several days in order to prepare a response to management's proposal, SAG said in a statement Wednesday. The Screen Actors Guild national negotiating committee is working hard to achieve a fair deal for actors. The committee is mindful of its obligation to advance actors' interests and to safeguard the protections our contracts afford them. Guild negotiators are engaged in, and committed to, the negotiating process and are confident that an equal commitment from management will allow the parties to reach a fair agreement that serves the needs of Screen Actors Guild members, their employers and the industry.
The previous SAG-AMPTP contract expired Tuesday at 12:01 a.m. The AMPTP issued what it has described as its final offer Monday following weeks of negotiations between the two parties.
