This will take some of the anxiety weight of the shoulders of many ... let's hope things stay positive and good to final approvals.

I've already heard from a half dozen execs today through texts and emails all exhaling and stating that the pedal is getting pushed to the floor again. Many were waiting for this news to forge on with their existing projects and to begin soliciting new ones.

Huge news Richard "RB" Botto! And with speed to spare. I’ve heard the same - the buying, green-lighting, financing, and overall willingness to work and support projects was waiting on this broadly and it’s time to get the machine moving and shows on the road. This is great for the creative community.

Agree, Sam Sokolow. Those who kept pushing while this was happening are going to be well positioned to win.

Thanks for sharing this, Richard "RB" Botto - there's a lot here. Most - not all - but most of the union members I know want overtime provisions like this and depend on that extra income so they don't want capped hours. The pension contributions seem to be an improvement. Hopefully, they ratify.

I believe they will and in overwhelming fashion.

A teamster whom I spoke with is hoping that the deal is not too high on raises to give reason to send more productions out of town or out of the country. So hopefully not but got a reasonable agreement for everyone.
