The Los Angeles Times had a website report posted last night:

After weeks of back-channel talks, Hollywood’s biggest actor union and the major studios appear to have broken their logjam and could be close to reaching an agreement on a new three-year contract, according to people close to the situation.

The agreement would come as a breakthrough for the Screen Actors Guild, whose members have been working without a contract for nine months as various attempts at negotiations with the studios collapsed amid acrimony and frustration. Talks picked up again after the union’s former chief negotiator was ousted by moderates who took control of SAG’s board in elections late last year.

   Background on the strife that has ripped through SAG is here and here. I’m guessing the deal won’t be much different than the conditions agreed to by the other guilds. But, hopefully, once a deal is reached, SAG can begin an effort to repair its internal unity.
