SAG-AFTRA Justifies Interim Agreements as “Vital Part of Our Strategic Approach” Amid Debate

So far, SAG-AFTRA has granted these pacts to projects including A24's 'Death of a Unicorn' and 'Mother Mary' as well as Hammerstone Studios' 'Flight Risk.'

The terms and conditions of the interim agreements, the negotiating committee continued, “reflect” those that SAG-AFTRA is seeking to gain in its ongoing TV/theatrical contract negotiations with the AMPTP. These agreements, therefore, allow members to work for companies that are not part of the AMPTP and exhibit that “the wage increases and other terms, which the AMPTP has so far rejected, are in fact reasonable and appropriate.

Furthermore, these pacts are important, the negotiating committee argued, because they motivate “production budgets to be directed to union-covered projects employing union members rather than fueling a pipeline of non-union foreign productions.” As a result, the negotiating committee said, “We urge independent producers to apply and encourage SAG-AFTRA members to work on the projects that obtain an Interim Agreement, along with all of the other permissible work we support.
