The Directors Guild of America (DGA) announced this weekend a tentative deal with Hollywood’s bargaining representative for studio companies.
The agreement, which aims to gradually improve wages and establish guardrails for union members against artificial intelligence replacement, could avert an expansion of a strike that is rocking the film industry.
In a news release, DGA union officials touted “unprecedented gains” in the prospective three-year collective-bargaining deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which negotiates virtually all industry-wide guild and union contracts for hundreds of producers in the entertainment industry.
