Almost 48% of the union's 160,000 members cast their ballots in an overwhelming majority, 97.91%, to strike should the two groups fail to reach an agreement. Their current contracts expire on June 30.Meanwhile, both SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP are participating in a"media blackout" and not responding to requests for comment until negotiations are finished.
Should SAG-AFTRA strike, it will be joining the likes of the Writer's Guild of America in its strike, which began on May 2. Writer's Guild negotiators were asking for a total of $429 million to raise wages across its industry. The Director's Guild of America, on the other hand, was able to reach a tentative three-year agreement with AMPTP, which its board approved Tuesday.
The Director's Guild's new contract included a 5% wage increase in the first year of the contract, 4% in the second year, and 3.5% in the third year, including 0.5% to fund a new parental leave benefit, 76% increase in foreign residuals, compensation during “soft prep” months ahead of production, and the reduced length of an assistant director's day by one hour.
SAG-AFTRA Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland promised he would"seek to capitalize on the insights we have gained from [the Director's Guild's] bargaining process and progress they have made on common issues." Still, all the unions are not dependent on the outcomes of the other's negotiations, according to Crabtree-Ireland.
