\n SAG-AFTRA members have ratified new three-year television animation contracts covering voice actors, the first to tackle the threat of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

\n In a ratification vote that ended on Friday, 95.52 percent of members voted to support the Television Animation Agreement and the Basic Cable Animation Agreement deal reached by union negotiators and 4.48 percent voted against the deal. The performers\u2019 union first announced that a tentative agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on the contracts had been reached on Feb. 21.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe foundation of this agreement was based on the feedback we got from members who work these contracts, and that remained the negotiating committee\u2019s focus throughout bargaining. We are proud to have delivered an agreement that offers big wins in those areas,\u201d TV animation negotiating committee co-chairs Bob Bergen and David Jolliffe said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n The new deal provides for seven percent wage increases in the first year of the contracts (and retroactive to July 1, 2023), four percent in the second year and 3.5 percent in the third year \u2014 the same minimum rate changes that the union achieved in their TV\/theatrical deal following their 118-day strike in 2023. On AI, the union secured contractual language that states a \u201cvoice actor\u201d can only refer to humans. The contracts also grant certain rights to performers when any digital replica is \u201crecognizable\u201d as them and provides foreign residuals when a voice actor\u2019s work is digitally translated into a foreign language and then exhibited.<\/p>\n

\n The union also gained a promise that producers will secure the consent of performers if they use those performers\u2019 names to prompt a generative AI system into creating a specific synthetic voice. Producers must additionally flag the union and negotiate with them if they use a synthetic voice instead of a voice actor.<\/p>\n

\n The contracts further include the changes to high-budget SVOD residuals and foreign high-budget SVOD residuals that were first secured in SAG-AFTRA\u2019s 2023 TV\/theatrical agreement, establish Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Juneteenth as contractual holidays and allow the union to request up to two meetings a year with companies and the AMPTP to discuss paying performers on time.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThis contract represents a meaningful step forward in expanding our A.I. protections,\u201d SAG-AFTRA national executive director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland said in a statement. \u201cThe contract provides important new terms in the areas of foreign residuals, high-budget SVOD productions, late payments and much more. I am gratified we were able to achieve these significant gains without the need for a work stoppage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
