So just think about that for a moment.
And thats a first.
And thats only the beginning, he said.
Im voting yes because this is a great deal for us, director Benny Bloom says in the video.

One of the safety provisions of the new contract prohibits live ammunition from being present on sets.
Im excited about parental leave; Im excited about the Juneteenth holiday being added.
Im excited about the diversity and inclusion clause.
