The Animation Guild and Studios Do Not Reach an Agreement, Add Negotiating Dates in September
The union, which has prioritized tackling AI and outsourcing in talks with Hollywood companies, previously set a Friday deadline to conclude talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
The Animation Guild and Hollywood studios have scheduled additional negotiations dates for September after concluding a week of bargaining without reaching a deal, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The union — which represents more than 5,000 animation workers — and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers previously only allotted one week, ending Friday, to reach a new three-year contract. But a consensus wasn’t reached by that time, according to a source.
THR has reached out to the AMPTP for comment.
