Actors’ Equity Reaches Tentative Broadway Deal After Marathon Mediation

Union leaders will now seek member ratification of the three-year pact.

Overview

  • Equity says the agreement preserves the Equity‑League Health Fund and advances priorities on scheduling and access to physical therapy.
  • Talks ran through the night with a mediator, concluding around 6 a.m. before the deal was announced.
  • The pact will be presented to Equity’s national council and then to roughly 4,000 eligible Broadway voters for approval.
  • Negotiations with AFM Local 802 continue separately, and musicians have a 98% strike authorization that could still darken most Broadway musicals if no deal is reached.
  • The Broadway League said it negotiated in good faith and is pleased with the tentative terms, while Equity pledged support for the musicians’ union as their talks proceed.
