LOS ANGELES : Film and television directors voted overwhelmingly to ratify a new three-year labor contract with major Hollywood studios on Friday, averting a second work stoppage that would have added to upheaval caused by an ongoing writers' strike.

The DGA represents 19,000 directors, assistant directors and others who work on film and TV productions. In the new labor pact, members secured base wage increases starting at 5 per cent the first year, an increase in residual payments from streaming, and a guarantee that generative artificial intelligence "cannot replace the duties performed by members."

The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May 2, shutting down several TV and film projects such as a new season of"Stranger Things" and a"Game of Thrones" spinoff.
