The actors union\u2019s new agreement with the trade group that negotiates with Hollywood unions on behalf of the major studios will reportedly improve AI protections<\/a> and boost the guild\u2019s pension fund. Similar to the pact the Writers Guild<\/a> reached with the studios last month, SAG-AFTRA\u2019s contract will last four years instead of the usual three.<\/p>\n SAG-AFTRA confirmed the tentative deal on Saturday. The union said in a statement that \u201cspecific details will not be released\u201d until the SAG-AFTRA National Board reviews its terms.<\/p>\n The contract is set to cover workers who are involved in motion pictures, scripted primetime dramatic television, streaming content and new media.<\/p>\n The actors union began negotiations with the studios in February and extended those talks in March, but paused to allow the AMPTP to finish negotiations with the writers union. Negotiations resumed April 27 and ended May 2.<\/p>\n The tentative contract still needs to be voted on by its members \u2014 SAG-AFTRA represents more than 160,000 actors, broadcast journalists, dancers, DJs, stunt performers, voice-over artists and other entertainment professionals.<\/p>\n The union\u2019s current contract is set to expire June 30. SAG-AFTRA joins WGA as the latest Hollywood union to strike a deal with the studios.<\/p>\n
