- Share via
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.
