SAG-AFTRA, AMPTP Talks Continue Past Deadline
6 Mar
Summary
- Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP have been extended into the week of March 9.
- If no deal is reached next week, SAG-AFTRA will wait until June for further talks.
- Despite progress, significant gaps remain on key issues between the parties.
SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have agreed to extend their contract negotiation sessions into the week of March 9.
This extension represents the final opportunity for the current round of talks. If an agreement is not reached by the end of next week, SAG-AFTRA will need to wait until June to resume negotiations, as the AMPTP has pre-scheduled talks with the WGA and DGA. The current contract for SAG-AFTRA actors officially expired on June 30.
Both parties have maintained a media blackout throughout these negotiations. However, sources suggest that progress has been made, leading to the decision to extend the talks. Despite this forward movement, significant differences on several core issues remain, according to insiders.
Proposals are expected to be exchanged imminently, which may help bridge the remaining gaps and determine the potential for a deal in the coming week.
