DGA leaders said today that their upcoming contract negotiations with the Aliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers “promises to be an extremely challenging negotiating environment – one of the most difficult and complex we have faced in many years.” DGA National Executive Director Russell Hollander and DGA negotiations chair Jon Avnet said in a communique to members that the upcoming talks will be made all the more difficult “with studios continuing to consolidate and become increasingly vertically integrated, and with extraordinary economic headwinds facing our industry and our nation.” “In this environment,” they told members, “your strength and support will be more important than ever.
We are committed to fighting for an entertainment industry that is fair, safe, equitable, sustainable and accessible for all.We all have a stake in issues like wages, streaming residuals, funding for our health and pension plans and more.
And we are committed to ensuring that the work and contributions of directors and their teams are respected.” The guild’s current contract expires June 30, and while no date has been set yet for the commencement of the talks, Hollander and Avnet said that the guild “has been preparing for bargaining for more than a year and a half, listening to the concerns of our members, researching the issues, and consulting with industry experts so we are in the best possible position to achieve our goals.
Our strategic bargaining process is designed to ensure that we reach the strongest contract possible – a goal we can achieve because of your participation and your voice at the table.
