SAG Directors Reject "Last, Best, Final Offer"

Actors and producers who are working to reach a new contract to cover provisions for payment of work appearing online and through other platforms hit a snag Saturday. The Screen Actors Guild voted 73% to 27% to reject the offer for a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. AMPTP switched the terms of the agreement from two to three years at the last minute causing the deal to fall apart. AMPTP called the deal "strong and fair." But SAG members expressed concern that changing the expiration date of its contract would weaken its bargaining position in the future. The main points SAG members were arguing for were the amount of pay for programming shown over the Internet and DVD sales.
