SAG, AMPTP reach tentative deal

Hollywood Reporter: "The main obstacle for SAG -- the AMPTP's proposed expiration date of three years after ratification -- has reportedly been resolved so that the new agreement, if ratified, will expire June 30, 2011. This will bring the end of the SAG agreement into synch with those of the latest DGA, WGA and AFTRA deals, timing that will allow the unions greater collective leverage in the next round of negotiations."
