SAG-AFTRA National Board Approves Tentative Agreement, Recommends Ratification of 2023 TV/Theatrical Contract

Nov. 10, 2023

The SAG-AFTRA National Board met today in a video conference plenary and approved the tentative agreement for the 2023 TV/Theatrical Contracts reached with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on November 8, 2023. With the board’s approval, the deal now goes to the union’s membership for ratification. The board approved the tentative agreement by a majority of 86% to 14% and recommended a vote of “yes” to ratify the contracts. “I was determined to redefine SAG-AFTRA as not only the largest entertainment union in the world, but the most powerful. And now that we have forged the biggest deal in industry history which broke pattern, established new revenue streams and passed a historic $1 billion plus dollar deal with the most progressive AI protections ever written, I feel pretty confident in saying this is a paradigm shift of seismic proportions! I am so proud of the TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee and so thrilled to have partnered with Duncan Crabtree-Ireland” said SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher. “Onward and upwards!”
