Special Episode! UnionWorking had 3 of its core members on the Negotiating Committee of the 2020 TV/Theatrical contract between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP. This 2-hour roundtable is a non-partisan breakdown of the Tentative Agreement that was reached on June 11. We offer a non-emotional perspective on the specific terms, as well as the process required over 7 weeks to arrive at this Agreement.
SAG-AFTRA members, be sure to vote before the July 22 deadline!

A few clarifications and corrections, along with an approximate time mark:
- Hulu is SVOD not AVOD / 38m
- Large license fees are not the factor in the declining number of syndication. Declining license fees compared to the residuals they must pay to run the show are the factor in question / 51m, 1h12
- Advance payment of residuals was legally negotiated into our contract back in the day / 1h20
