The contract, which saw a 19.25% voter return rate, strengthens protections against artificial intelligence by restricting the use of synthetics and creating a pathway to merge the SAG-Producers Pension and Health Plans, according to Deadline. Bleeding Cool noted that the ratification follows the National Board's approval less than a month prior, after two rounds of negotiations in February.
Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
