What Is An Interim Agreement?

SAG-AFTRA is offering independent productions the ability to sign an agreement that consists of the terms of our last offer to the AMPTP before we went on strike. These agreements are a strategic tool that enhances the union’s bargaining leverage and weakens the power of studios, networks and streamers in negotiations. Interim agreements are only available to rigorously vetted independent productions that agree to be bound by the terms of SAG-AFTRA’s last offer. Importantly, our terms govern these independents, and our terms attach if and when they are licensed during the strike for distribution to various types of media, including television networks and streaming services. Projects that have signed the Interim Agreement are listed on sagaftrastrike.org.
