The conglomerates are done negotiating. The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers released a statement on Thursday, saying they've offered the Screen Actors Guild a "last, best and final offer" that includes additional (albeit undisclosed) sweeteners on top of the $250 million bump in wages, benefits, and new media residuals that was previously offered. The major studios are giving the actors 60 days to respond, "at which point we reserve the right to modify or withdraw the terms."
坚冰已在融化。全美电影电视制作人协会(The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers)于周四发表声明称:他们已向美国演员工会(Screen Actors Guild)提交了“最近的,最佳的和最终的条件”。较之先前达成的条件,将在包括工资,福利以及新媒体收益等方面,带来高达2亿5仟万美元的增长。大制片机构将给演员工会60天的回应期,在此期间,将保留修订或撤消之权利。
"The AMPTP made these enhancements in an effort to conclude the AMPTP's sixth major labor agreement in the past year," according to the statement. "The terms in the offer are the best we can or will offer in light of the five other major industry labor deals negotiated over the past year and the extraordinary economic crisis gripping the world economy."
全美电影电视制作人协会,在历经多次劳务合同谈判的推动下,才得以出台该增长方案。根据该声明,在金融危机席卷全球的情况下,综合其他行业劳动和约谈判的结果,开出的条件是我们所能、所愿提供的最优厚的条件。
SAG has been working without a contract since last June.
演员工会自去年六月以来,一直处于没有合约保护工作的状况。
