Actors Unions, Studios Announce Tentative Agreement

After more than two months of negotiations, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) have reached a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for a three year contract that includes a increase in benefit contributions and a wage increase of six percent. Before going into effect in July (when the current contracts expire) it will first need to be approved by a joint board for the unions and union members, reports CBS local.
