The American Federation of Television & Radio Artists has signed its first deal covering performers working on audiobooks produced by Audible.com.
The union said Wednesday that the 18-month pact establishes minimum rates and employer contributions to the AFTRA Health & Retirement Plans for AFTRA members working on audiobooks produced by Audible.com, one of the Internet's largest online distributors of audiobooks.
The agreement expires on June 30, 2010. AFTRA said the tentative deal was reviewed and unanimously approved in November by its administrative committee, pending resolution of several minor issues.
