2025 Notice to Authorizers and Memo on Prudent Planning for Productions
As a reminder, the 2022 SAG-AFTRA Commercials Contract and Audio Commercials Contract (the “Contracts”) will expire on March 31, 2025. Negotiations for successor contracts will begin in a few months.
The following Notice to Authorizers outlines various options with respect to the expiring Contracts and the upcoming negotiations between the JPC and the Union over successor contracts. The industry remains optimistic that we will have a successful conclusion to these negotiations without disruption. However, in order to provide for prudent production planning prior to the expiration of these Contracts, signatory employers, both agencies and advertisers, are advised to review and consider the following Prudent Planning Memorandum as it may pertain to them. Please review both documents and reach out to Stacy Marcus, the JPC’s Chief Negotiator; or Kim Stevens, JPC’s Director of Industry Relations with any questions.
