The ANA-4A’s Joint Policy Committee on Broadcast Talent Union Relations is aware that SAG-AFTRA sent a Notice of Termination, dated January 28, 2016, to all Commercials Contracts signatories. The notice states SAG-AFTRA’s intent to terminate both Contracts effective with the March 31, 2016 expiration date, and indicates that, “[i]f you have an interest in participating in these negotiations, please advise and we will make the necessary arrangements.”
Recipients should disregard SAG-AFTRA’s invitation to participate in negotiations. The JPC will negotiate successor contracts on behalf of all authorizers. Following the conclusion of our negotiations, the Union will contact direct (i.e., non-authorizer) signatories regarding successor contracts.
