As deadline looms, a federal mediator will step into SAG-AFTRA negotiations
However, the presence of a mediator will not extend talks any further. In a statement, SAG-AFTRA said they are committed to reaching a deal by the deadline. Initially set to expire on June 30, SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP agreed to extend negotiations for another 12 days.“SAG-AFTRA represents performers,” the statement continued.
“We are here to get a deal that ensures our members can earn a living wage in our expansive industry we help make possible with our work. The AMPTP can make this happen at any time. They know what our members need, and when they bring that to the table, we will be listening, but it’s important to know – time is running out.”
