In a vote, 92.25 percent of members were in favor of a tentative deal struck in early April that dramatically shifted the union's approach to per-use payments.
Now that the deal is ratified, the contracts’ terms on working conditions will take effect 30 days from May 5, rates increases will begin retroactive to April 1 at the same time and their language on structure will go into effect June 1.
The union is valuing the contracts’ gains at $120 million over the course of three years, about three times the amount of calculated gains in the 2019 versions. Overall wage increases provided by the contracts have been pegged at 5.55 percent, while health plans contribution rates have been increased by 0.75 to 1.4 percent depending on the signatory, according to a person familiar with the deal, for a blended increase of 1.01 percent.
Among the many shifts involving working conditions in the contracts are new policies around self-taping , forbidding repeated self-tapes, the requirement for special equipment or use of multiple locations in an audition. The contracts formally forbid nudity in any auditions and require employers to give performers advance notice of any partial or full nudity required by a job.
After talks began Feb. 15 in New York, the tentative deal took nearly eight weeks to negotiate, a process that union president Fran Drescher described in an April statement as “stressful” and requiring long hours.
