Michael Buckner/PMC The SAG-AFTRA board on Monday approved its four-year contract with the major studios, which includes a plan to merge the union’s two pension funds on Jan. 1, 2028.
The board voted 89% in favor of recommending the deal, which now goes to the membership for a ratification vote.
The pension merger has been a source of internal friction in the past. The Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists combined into one union in 2012, and the health plans merged in 2017, but the pension systems have remained separate.
