Statement on the Tentative Agreement Between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and SAG-AFTRA

November 09, 2023

Collective bargaining works. I applaud SAG-AFTRA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for working together in good faith towards an agreement that allows our entertainment industry to continue telling the stories of America. When both sides come to the table to negotiate in earnest, they can make businesses stronger and allow workers to secure pay and benefits that help them raise families and retire with dignity. Over the last 3 years, workers have won historic victories that ensure record pay, record benefits, and an economy that grows from the middle out and bottom up. SAG-AFTRA members will have the final say on this contract, but the sacrifices they've made will ensure a better future for them, their families, and all workers who deserve a fair share of the value they helped create.
