While SAG-AFTRA, which is waiting for the results of its ratification vote December 5, had initially hoped for more, it ultimately agreed in its tentative agreement to a bonus structure similar to the WGA’s. The WGA’s contract, which was secured in September, included a bonus structure that would trigger an additional payment for any title that met a specific viewership threshold.
These gains are just a start, according to SAG-AFTRA’s National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, who told Deadline that the guild would look to negotiate lower barriers to entry for bonuses and greater transparency in future negotiations.īoth guilds set their sights on a success-based residual for streaming titles from day one of talks in an effort to address the dwindling payouts their members are receiving in the streaming era, but the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers was reluctant to agree. On the other hand, it might be hard for shows on other streamers such as Amazon’s Prime Video to come close to the new targets given that the company has nearly 170 million subscribers, most of which are likely more interested in free shipping than watching The Peripheral.
