Statement by President Joe Biden on the tentative agreement between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and SAG-AFTRA
Collective bargaining works. I applaud SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for working together in good faith on a deal that will allow our entertainment industry to continue telling America's stories. When both sides come to the table to negotiate in earnest, businesses can step up and allow workers to secure the pay and benefits that will help them start families and retire with dignity. Over the past three years, workers have won historic victories that have secured record wages, record benefits, and an economy that is growing from the middle and the bottom up. SAG-AFTRA members will have the last word on this contract, but the sacrifices they have made will ensure a better future for them, their families and all workers who deserve a fair share of the value they have helped create.
