The performers' union just turned a tentative labor truce into a four-year contract that changes how Hollywood handles retirement security and generative AI.

The union locked in AI guardrails, a pension-plan merger path, and better streaming residuals, giving Hollywood a clearer template for the next labor fight.

Members overwhelmingly backed a contract that sets new guardrails for synthetic actors and folds two pension funds together, shaping labor costs and AI rights for studios.
