The Screen Actors Guild and a group of Hollywood producers say they have agreed on a new two-year contract covering animated television programs.
The deal, announced Tuesday by SAG and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, covers SAG members working in television animation and basic cable animation.
We are pleased to have concluded these negotiations and to have arrived at a fair deal that delivers solid economic gains for our members,
SAG said in a statement. Screen Actors Guild members working in these areas now have the benefit of negotiated compensation increases, an improved pension contribution rate and a template for compensation in new media.
We welcome the ratification of these new agreements covering Screen Actors Guild talent in both broadcast animation and basic cable animation,
AMPTP said. These contracts will help to ensure continued production and employment, which is especially critical in today's economy.
The agreements are effective retroactive to June 10, 2009, and will expire concurrently with the TV/theatrical agreement June 30, 2011, the union and the producers said.
