Animation Guild secures new contract

Animators who work on such shows as "The Simpsons," "Bob's Burgers" and "Uncle Grandpa" are in line for a modest pay raise.

Some 3,100 members of the Animation Guild will receive a 3% annual increase in wage minimums under a new three-year contract negotiated by the union.

The Animation Guild said it had reached an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on Wednesday after three days of bargaining.

The pact, which runs from Aug. 1 through July 31, 2018, is patterned after similar deals negotiated by unions representing writers, directors, actors and crew members who work on film sets.
