Casting directors and studios reach new agreement

latimes.com: Hollywood's casting directors have reached an agreement with the studios on a new contract.
Teamsters Local 399, which represents casting directors who work in movies and TV shows, secured a new contract on Friday after four days of negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the union said.

I really like the picture with the two horse heads.

The tome of the article infers that the agreement was difficult to come to and it is stated that the contract not quite set since it has to be ratified, but it only took four hours, which is really impressive, whether it is confirmed or not. I wonder if having only a three year agreement means that it is easier to reach a new contract agreement since they do not happen as often as for other organizations so fewer changes are made each time. I would think that factor contributes to the agreement being reached in only four hours or maybe casting directors and studios get along well.
