Statement from AMPTP President Nick Counter:

“Of the 307 labor agreements the AMPTP has negotiated since 1982, this new DGA-AMPTP pact surely dealt with some of the most challenging issues we’ve ever faced,” said AMPTP President Nick Counter.  “The formal negotiations that led to this agreement were preceded by weeks of tough and candid informal discussions.  In the end, though, both parties were determined to focus on the core issues that are most important to all of us, and the result is an agreement that breaks important new ground for our entire industry.”
