The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) are currently in negotiations over a new contract. However, the two parties are reportedly far apart on key issues, leading to concerns about a potential strike. The negotiations, which resumed on Tuesday, are focused on issues such as residuals for streaming services, safety protocols, and compensation for low-budget productions. Despite the ongoing discussions, no agreement has been reached yet. The current contract between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP expired on June 30, but was extended to allow for further negotiations. The potential strike could have significant impacts on the film and television industry, potentially halting production on numerous projects. The last major strike by SAG-AFTRA occurred in 2000 and lasted six months, causing significant disruption in the industry.
