Wage minimums will increase by 3% in each year of the agreement. As a result of pattern bargaining, the employers would only agree to the same increases offered to the Hollywood Locals. SAG-AFTRA and the DGA received a 2.5% wage increase the first year (another 0.5% was diverted to their benefits fund), and 3% increases the 2nd and 3rdyears. Provided the agreement ratifies, there is retroactive coverage for the 3% increase of wage minimums for the first year of the agreement, beginning July 1, 2021.
