Actors, studios agree on 3-year contract

The union that represents movie and television actors reached a tentative agreement Tuesday on a new three-year contract with the major Hollywood studios.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists had been in talks since May 31 with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the bargaining organization that represents studios, broadcast networks and major cable networks.

The studio group confirmed the agreement. The two sides didn't elaborate on the terms of the deal or when a ratification vote might happen.

SAG-AFTRA had extended its negotiations with the producers' alliance after the Friday deadline passed without an agreement. The talks were extended three days before a deal was reached.

SAG-AFTRA is the last of the three big Hollywood unions to negotiate a new contract. The Writers Guild of America and the Directors Guild ratified their new three-year contracts earlier this year.

SAG-AFTRA represents actors, announcers and broadcast journalists. The union is several months into a strike against several prominent video game companies over issues including compensation and workplace safety for motion-capture and voice performers.
