DGA Reaches 4-Year Tentative Deal With AMPTP Before June 30 Contract Expiry

Summary
Nearly 20,000 DGA members now face a ratification vote after the guild struck a tentative four-year contract with the AMPTP following just under a month of talks.
June 30 had been the deadline for a new agreement, and the deal would extend the directors' contract from three years to four, matching terms already accepted by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
Details remain undisclosed until the DGA national board reviews the pact, though the guild was said to be especially focused on employment in this bargaining round.
Health and pension pressures also shaped the talks, but the DGA's needs were seen as less acute than those of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, whose funds required larger support earlier this year.
