Directors Guild Board Urges Contract Approval

From Staff and Wire Reports

The Directors Guild of America’s national board voted unanimously Saturday to recommend ratification of a three-year contract with movie studios and television networks.

The new contract would go into effect July 1 and run through 2005.

The recommendation comes six months before the current contract expires.

The 21-0 vote was taken at the board’s regularly scheduled meeting in Los Angeles, according to a guild news release.

“I’m happy that we were able to successfully conclude early negotiations on these significant issues, and I anticipate that our membership will overwhelmingly ratify the new contracts,” guild President Jack Shea said.
