DGA Lines Up Its Priorities for Upcoming Negotiations
The Directors Guild of America has identified shoring up the DGA-industry health plan as a key issue at upcoming negotiations with the congloms. DGA negotiating committee chief Gil Cates made the disclosure in the DGA’s monthly magazine for October as part of a Q and A about bargaining over a successor contract. He said that employers haven’t increased their contribution to the plan since 2005 while benefits have been tightened. The guidance echoed what Cates had told members a month ago — that the DGA pension and health plans would be a top priority at upcoming contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Televison Producers.
