AFTRA Ratifies Videogame Pact
AFTRA’s membership ratified its new interactive media agreement with videogame employers Thursday. Just two weeks earlier, SAG rejected the same deal, asking the companies to return to the bargaining table.
The new AFTRA contract, which goes into effect Jan. 1, includes a 2.5 percent increase in minimum session fees beginning April 1. The new deal will expire March 31, 2011.
