SAG-AFTRA Ratifies AMPTP Pact, Bolstering AI Protections and Pension Merger
SAG-AFTRA members overwhelmingly ratified the 2026 TV/Theatrical Agreement with the AMPTP, voting 91.42% in favor with a 19.25% turnout. The deal tightens AI and digital-identity protections, restricts synthetic performances, and creates a path to merge the SAG-Producers Pension Plan with the AFTRA Retirement Fund, while delivering wage and health-benefit gains and streaming residual improvements that run from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2030.
