The Association of Independent Commercial Producers and members of the Directors Guild of America ratified a new two-year collective bargaining agreement Thursday, reports Variety.

It’s the same contract that the DGA national board voted yes to Oct. 24, one that includes increased salaries, an agreed-upon code of practices on creative rights as well as pension and health coverage augmentations. The agreement’s term ends Oct. 31, 2011.
