Leaders of the Screen Actors Guild have endorsed tentative three-year agreements on a trio of pacts — basic cable live-action, basic cable animation and TV animation. SAG’s national board approved the deals at their meeting Saturday afternoon. The guild said terms of the three pacts mirror those in the new primetime-feature deal — which includes a 2% annual wage hike, an increase in the contribution rates for pension and health from 15% to 16.5% and elimination of the requirement that members travel first class when they’re required to fly to sets. Mail ballots will go out shortly with a mid-January deadline for return. The current SAG contracts expire on June 30. The new three-year agreements will be effective from July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2014
