Pressure shifts to SAG after AFTRA deal


May 28, 2008 With AFTRA reaching a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers after round-the-clock talks during Memorial Day weekend, attention now turns to SAG and whether the guild will follow the lead of its sister union as it revs up talks for its primetime/theatrical contract. SAG returned to the table Wednesday after a three-week break following suspension of formal talks with the studios' org, the AMPTP, which began April 15. AFTRA, which had twice postponed its talks so that SAG could continue with its bargaining, started its negotiations with the producers May 7 and reached its tentative agreement early Wednesday morning.
