The Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio artists (ACTRA), Canada’s counterpart to the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), reached a tentative agreement with producers Tuesday, only days after negotiations began on a new contract to replace the one that expires in January.
The 18,000-member Canadian union has never struck.
The new contract was modeled on the one negotiated by SAG earlier this year and will mean a 6 percent rise in actors’ earnings over the next two years.
