SAG-AFTRA Contract Talks Won’t Take Place At AMPTP’s Offices When They Resume
EXCLUSIVE: When SAG-AFTRA resumes bargaining with the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers on Monday, the talks won’t be held at the AMPTP’s offices in Sherman Oaks, CA, as they had been before the guild went on strike in July.
Deadline has learned that SAG-AFTRA officials have insisted on a venue change because they weren’t happy with the AMPTP’s setup where contract negotiations for all the guilds and unions have historically been set.
