The major actors unions have reached tentative contract agreements with videogame producers, delivering better pay and improved protections for actors, the Screen Actors Guild announced Friday.
Upon ratification of the new contracts, SAG members receive a 3 percent wage increase, bringing SAG’s wages to parity with those of the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists. The deals also contain another 2.5 percent wage increase for both unions on April 1, 2010.
The new agreements, which must be approved by SAG’s national board of directors and the AFTRA administrative committee, bring the unions into unison on the contract expiration date of March 30, 2011.
