SAG board approves TV/theatrical contract


April 19, 2009 SAG's national board of directors voted 53.38%-46.62% on Sunday afternoon to approve its tentative new TV/theatrical contract. After a two-month stalemate -- and nearly 10 months of working under the terms of an expired contract -- SAG and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers discreetly hammered out a back-room compromise and on Friday announced a tentative deal for a Codified Basic Agreement. The proposed offer, which covers actors in motion pictures and television, includes a 3% wage increase and a 0.5% pension and health plan contribution increase once ratified.
