Negotiators for actors and the major studios are heading back to the bargaining table on Monday in an effort to end the ongoing strike by performers.
! As we return to negotiations, remember that our fight isn't over. Join us on the picket lines or at an event near you TODAY and let's keep pushing until we win what we deserve! 🎭💫Last week, the Screen Actors Guild American Federation of Television and Radio Artists posted on social media,"SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP will meet for bargaining on Monday, October 2. Several executives from AMPTP member companies will be in attendance.
The WGA strike began May 2, with actors going on strike in mid-July over many of the same issues, including residual formulas for streamed content and protections against the use of artificial intelligence. While negotiators for the WGA and the AMPTP, which represents the studios, worked hard to hash out their tentative deal, SAG AFTRA and the AMPTP have not had official talks since that strike began in July. SAG-AFTRA represents about 160,000 actors. Its demands include general wage increases, protections against the use of actor images through artificial intelligence, boosts in compensation for successful streaming programs and improvements in health and retirement benefits.
The proposed contract also includes restrictions on studios' use of artificial intelligence, barring AI from writing or rewriting literary material and preventing AI-generated material from being considered source material, meaning it can't"undermine a writer's credit."
