This milestone comes more than four months prior to the expiration of the existing contract extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Master Agreement will include provisions like significant increases in benefit payments for daily hire employees; increased work opportunities for NABET-CWA members on sports productions airing on broadcast networks, cable, and streaming services; and new guidelines and protections related to the use of generative artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The general economics of the tentative agreement are substantial. General wage increases during the term of the agreement are 3%, 4%, 3%, and 3.75%. These wage increases follow two previous increases negotiated during the contract extension period of 5%, effective April 1, 2025, and 3.5%, effective April 1, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With information about the deal belonging first to the members, both parties agreed to avoid publicity until members could learn details directly from Local and Sector leadership. NABET-CWA Locals will hold informational meetings about the content of the tentative agreement. Members should be on the lookout for notifications of the dates and times for those meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If ratified, the new contract will take effect on October 1, 2026, and will run through March 31, 2031.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulations, NABET-CWA members!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 1, members of the NABET-CWA bargaining team reached an overall tentative agreement with ABC-TV on a successor Master Agreement.
