Yesterday (Feb. 14), the CFTPA’s main negotiator told Playback Daily that they’re considering an offer from ACTRA to enlist a third party from the outside to determine payout methods for old media conversions.
ACTRA would also like to send the issue of new media residuals over to a joint committee, while they and the CFTPA can come to a new Independent Production Agreement on a wage increase. These are all part of their new strategy to end their month-and-a-half-long strike.
Meanwhile, the Canadian producers want to secure agreement from US producers, who want leverage when they negotiate new contracts with the Screen Actors Guild later this year and in 2008. Also, US producers are signatories to any IPA agreement, which is very important.
