Unions and producers have agreed new terms for cast and crews returning to work in Hollywood.
Producers will have the option to mandate vaccinations for their cast and crews working in close proximity to actors, leading entertainment industry unions and an alliance of Hollywood producers said Monday night.
The measure is one of several protocols that are being updated along with relaxed testing and masking requirements in a new agreement that will run until Sept. 30, according to the joint statement signed by multiple unions and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The short-term deal with SAG-AFTRA, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and other unions eases some of the safety protocols put in place last fall that provided for sick pay, testing, masking and other safety measures intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus., the groups began negotiating ways to loosen the restrictions to facilitate film production. The new measures were expected to reduce testing and sanitation requirements, helping to lower costs for producers.
“The COVID-19 Safety Agreement is the outcome of unprecedented coordination and solidarity between the unions and collaboration with employers to develop science-based protocols that minimize the risk of COVID-19 virus transmission in the industry’s unique work environments,” the organizations said in their statement. “The protocols have driven a successful rebound of film and television production while prioritizing safety for casts, crews and all on-set workers.
