It doesn't seem to be getting much attention in the news but the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes is negotiating a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The old contract doesn't expire for another 16 months but a new deal with the I.A. is just a formality so they might as well get it out of the way early. There will be minor adjustments and the I.A. will get some sort of token payment for New Media — a benefit of the WGA strike that I.A. leadership decried.
Bargaining was expected to be concluded a few days ago but they've run into a complication. There's a new law on the books called The Pension Protection Act, and the union's pension plan has to be recalibrated to fit. It should all be worked out soon. In the meantime, the AMPTP is scheduled to open negotiations with SAG and then AFTRA, so the IA negotiations may not resume for a while.
The more I think about it, the less I think I can predict what will happen with SAG and AFTRA. The bifurcation of that bargaining unit (as explained here) is such a wild card that almost any outcome could result. I don't think I'd wager any money on it being good for actors, however…especially not good for them in the long run.
