MBA Negotiations 2020: MBA Negotiations Start Today
May 18, 2020
Dear Members,
This morning we are meeting with the AMPTP for our first session to bargain for a new MBA. The contract now expires on June 30th.
Our co-chairs have prepared a brief video.
As you know, we usually lay out our bargaining agenda during membership meetings. Since many of those meetings had to be cancelled this year, we’ll be sending a series of emails over the next two weeks with an overview of the issues we will be addressing on your behalf with the AMPTP during May and June. The topics will include: streaming compensation and residuals, benefit contributions, inclusion and equity, workplace protections including against sexual harassment, and specific screenwriter, comedy-variety and TV writer issues.
Thank you for your support as we go to the virtual bargaining table. We are thinking of you all.
In solidarity,
MBA Negotiating Committee
