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

3 articles · Updated · Deadline · Jun 10

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.
