I never thought I’d have to retire this graphic. I’ve spent a year watching this crap (which you can see in the Strike category HERE), and now it looks like we’ve got a deal!

Sort of…

Press Release time!

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and Screen Actors Guild today announced that the parties have reached tentative agreement on successor agreements to the Producer-Screen Actors Guild Codified Basic Agreement.

Details of the agreement covering television programs and motion pictures will not be disclosed prior to review by the SAG national board of directors this Sunday, April 19, at a previously scheduled board meeting via videoconference in Los Angeles and New York.

Screen Actors Guild will present the tentative agreement to the Screen Actors Guild board of directors for approval and referral to the membership for ratification.

Now, I can only speculate, but that shouldn’t be all to hard. Because SAG had it’s legs taken out from under it when all the actors started in-fighting, so I’m guessing we’re looking at something more like the AFTRA contract with a few little “STFU” points thrown in to stop SAG from bitching loud enough to screw itself again.

I’ll hopefully get to provide details when we know them. Just know that I’ve never regretted picking up a story as much as I regret following this contract negotiation bullsh*t.
