Principal Performers. SCHEDULE A — WORKING CONDITIONS hereto attached shall be deemed incorporated herein and made a part hereof as to all principal performers covered hereby. (Commencing on Page 79.)
Principal Performers. The Union is recognized by Producer as the exclusive bargaining agent for all principal performers (including actors, narrators, announcers, singers, specialty dancers, specialty acts, puppeteers, stunt performers, and pilots) as described in Section 6, Persons Covered, employed by Producer for commercials, as the term “commercials” is defined in Section 4, within the scope of this Contract as provided in subsection A of Section 5, Scope of Contract. Compensation to principal performers in commercials is based both on the services which the principal performer renders in the production of such commercials and on the use which is made of the finished commercial in which the principal performer has rendered services. This dual basis of compensation springs from the unique nature of the services rendered by principal performers in commercials. The Union contended that a principal performer rendering services in a commercial performs, to a great extent, the duties of a demonstrator or salesperson of a particular product or service and as such, tends to be identified with that particular product or service. The Union also contended that this identification increases proportionately with the continued utilization of a commercial. The Union further contended that advertisers and their agencies seldom approve the employment of a principal performer who has become identified with another product or service, especially if the product or service is competitive. These conditions and practices tend to reduce opportunities for further employment in this field. The Producer, realizing the singular nature of this kind of service and that the reuse of a commercial may limit or curtail further employment opportunities for the principal performers appearing in the commercial, has agreed to this unique method of compensation.
Principal Performers. 1. The terms and conditions of this Contract apply to commercials produced by Producer in the United States, which includes its commonwealths, territories, and possessions, and to commercials for which Producer engages principal performers within such territorial areas wherever such commercials are made.
Principal Performers. 1. A Producer will not either engage in the production of a commercial or any part thereof (including film footage or sound track) as to which one or more principal performers is employed by a person not signatory to this Contract or a Letter of Adherence hereto (a “nonsignatory”) or acquire a commercial or any such part thereof as to which one or more principal performers was employed by a nonsignatory, unless, in each case, Producer determines, after reasonable investigation, that such principal performers have been and will be either (1) afforded the wages, hours, working conditions, and other economic benefits provided in this Contract or (2) afforded wages, hours, working conditions, and other economic benefits having a substantially equivalent economic cost to such nonsignatory. In the event the commercial is a non-air commercial, Producer shall, upon written request from the Union, report to the Union the name of such nonsignatory, the number of commercials, copy tests and client demos to be recorded and other pertinent data to enable the Union to administer this Contract.
Principal Performers. The Union waives the application of this Contract to actual employees of the advertiser who are regularly employed and who are not professional entertainers who engage in entertainment or motion picture work regularly when they are photographed at their usual place of business in the course of their usual employment. When there are unique circumstances that exist at an advertiser’s place of business that make it unusually difficult, disruptive, or unsafe to photograph the advertiser’s employees in the course of their usual employment during non-business hours and during business hours, the application of this Contract shall be waived as to photography of such employees at locations away from their usual place of business, provided those locations are designed to replicate the employees’ usual place of business, subject to the other limitations contained in this section. In either of the two above scenarios, the employees may be directed, including being directed to speak dialogue, provided that such direction replicates the employees’ usual working conditions and that such dialogue replicates dialogue actually spoken by the employees while conducting their customary work duties. The application of this Contract is not waived, however, with respect to those persons who render services for the advertiser in the regular course of his/her business, which services by their very nature are services normally rendered under and covered by this Contract; for example, fashion modeling.
