Sound Recordings Negotiations

The AFTRA Sound Recordings Code is the union’s second largest single contract and generated more than $150 million in reported earnings in 2008. The new contract, ratified in early 2008, resulted in continued AFTRA health plan coverage for newly signed and established roster artists with a significant increase in the “special payment” to cover the cost of providing individual health coverage, a new structure to provide payments to session singers from the sale of permanent downloads and a breakthrough in establishing a separate—and higher—H&R contribution “cap” for royalty groups of three or more.
