Directors adopt 3-year contract
The Directors Guild of America said its members overwhelmingly endorsed a new three-year contract.
The agreement, negotiated last month, replaces one that expires June 30 and secures gains for directors in the digital age, including doubling residuals for films and TV shows sold online and establishing payments for shows streamed free on the Web.
The contract paved the way for a similar pact between studios and writers that ended a nearly 100-day strike. The guild, which represents 13,500 members, did not disclose actual vote results.
