Screen Actors Guild Members Overwhelmingly Ratify TV/Theatrical Agreements
SAG - Los Angeles, (June 9, 2009)
Screen Actors Guild announced today that members have voted overwhelmingly to approve its TV/Theatrical contracts by a vote of 78 percent to 22 percent.
The two-year successor agreement covers film and digital television programs, motion pictures and new media productions. The pact becomes effective at 12:01 a.m. June 10, 2009 and expires June 30, 2011.
The contracts provide more than $105 million in wages, increased pension contributions, and other gains and establishes a template for SAG coverage of new media formats.
Approximately 110,000 SAG members received ballots of which 35.26 percent returned them – a return that is above average compared with typical referenda on Screen Actors Guild contracts. Integrity Voting Systems of Everett, WA, provided election services and tonight certified the final vote tally upon completion of the tabulation.
The vote count in the Hollywood Division was 70.70 percent to 29.30 percent in favor. In the New York Division, the vote count was 85.74 percent to 14.26 percent in favor. And in the Regional Branch Division, the vote count was 89.06 percent to 10.94 percent in favor.

United for Strength! |
Unite for Strength thanks the scores who supported us with donations, endorsements, time, and by spreading the word about our campaign to change the course of the Screen Actors Guild. On September 18th, thanks to that support, 18 of our 33 candidates won seats on the Hollywood Board, with five of those as National Board representatives as well. (see below) What this means is that with your help Unite for Strength accomplished something crucial: we shifted the balance of power in the SAG National Boardroom for the first time in many years and the impact of that shift immediately impacted the decisions being made in the Board Room.
It’s hard to imagine these things happening before this election, without the presence of our Unite for Strength leaders working cooperatively with SAG leaders from every part of the country. In other words, your support of Unite for Strength has already had a powerful impact on SAG, and the future of professional performers. We hope you’ll take pride in the part you played in that. This is just the first step. We will be looking for your continued support in the upcoming year: in the AFTRA board elections this spring, and the next SAG elections for Board, President and Secretary/Treasurer elections in the fall. By building on this success and keeping this momentum going, we can and will create the powerful, unified representation that professional media performers need and deserve.
With Respect and Gratitude, Unite for Strength
