CNN —Members of the Directors Guild of America voted to approve a new three-year contract with studios Friday, with 87% of membership voting in favor of the deal.
The contract, which was recommended by the DGA negotiating committee was a “historic” deal for wages, work hours, residuals, and artificial intelligence.
The tentative agreement was reached against the backdrop of the Writers Guild Strike, which has been going on for eight weeks.
AMPTP and the Writers Guild were not able to come up with a deal before their contract expired on May 1.
This vote result could set the tone and precedent for the striking Writers Guild.
