“Employer recognizes the creative and other benefits of providing an inclusive and diverse environment in connection with the production of the Picture and further recognizes the historical and severe under-representation of certain Qualified Categories of individuals (as defined below). In keeping with Articles 15-100 through 15-202 of the 2017 DGA Basic Agreement and Articles 26(a)1-4 of the 2017 SAG Basic Agreement, Employer agrees to use good faith efforts to interview and hire applicants who (a) are qualified for the position in question, and (b) fall within the Qualified Categories for all open positions for personnel working on production of the Picture (“Film Jobsâ€), including without limitation below-the-line personnel and cast other than leading actors. “Qualified Categories†means (a) women, (b) people of color, (c) the disabled, and (d) the LGBTQ community. In no event, however, will Employer hire any person simply because they fall within the Qualified Categories nor fail to consider any person for the Film Jobs simply because they do not fall within the Qualified Categories. Under no circumstances shall the Employer be obligated to violate, or in fact violate, any federal or state anti-discrimination laws in the interview and hiring process.â€

7 年Too funny - the first thing I thought of when I saw this was “Hmm...I wonder if she saw my colleague Schuyler’s article over at Forbes...†And then I noticed you linked to it at the bottom of your post. I think that, as long as momentum can be maintained, this will become a part of the standard contract. I completely support it, and I hope my colleagues in both the legal and business management fields will, too. The more all-around support there is, the more likely this gets done on a wide scale. Fingers crossed.

7 å¹´It has historically been difficult, if not nearly impossible for women to truly make a difference based on their own values, beliefs and principles. Because the majority of institutions demand loyalty and adherence to a patriarchal value system where might makes right, dominance and profit is the name of the game. Without regard for the consequences to others, to the Planet, to the Culture of our Modern World. The Core Essence of the Divine Feminine has always been to be Inclusive of Others. To be Open to Seeing, Listening and Feeling Within and, to the World Outside our selves.
