two-year contract"

"In a clear move toward moderation, Screen-Actors Guild members have
overwhelming ratified a two-year feature-primetime contract with a
78% yes vote"

It's all over, I can't believe it.

Two years before "the fun" starts all over again.

Poor buggers waited themselves into the weakest, most precarious bargaining position possible. Here's hoping they got what they needed.

I can't believe it's over.

Thanks Kim for keeping us up to date during all the negotiations.

So after all that, they still ended up with the same deal everyone else got last year.

Brilliant.

it seems to be a big debacle...the pres is already talking about striking
in 2011, when this new contract is expired...oh brother....

The L.A. Times editorial laments:

Yet Hollywood's labor peace is illusory. SAG President Alan Rosenberg, who had campaigned vigorously against the contract, disparaged it as "devastatingly unsatisfactory." His stance reflects the tension within the union between his hard-line faction and the more moderate wing that took control last fall, a tension that also divides SAG and the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists.
