Agency to a negotiated franchise agreement banning packaging fees and agency affiliations with related production companies. Kaplan Stahler now becomes the first mid-tier agency to break ranks with the Association of Talent Agents and sign a modified version of the guild’s Code of Conduct. “Our goal remains to move the negotiation process forward with all unsigned agencies.”
The deal includes several changes to the changes made to the June 27th proposal that the WGA sent to all unsigned agencies. The guild said that the “most-favored nations” clause in the agreement means that “any franchised agency may choose to adopt the terms of this agreement, in lieu of those it previously negotiated, if it so chooses.”
This had also been a concern of the Abrams Artists Agency, which had had tried but failed to reach a deal with the guild. According to the guild, the Kaplan Stahler deal will allow it and other signatories to send “any such written objection to the WGA, as well as notify the WGA each time it finalizes a contract, deal memo, or invoice for that writer client.
