SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood Studios Continue Negotiations Amid Longest TV/Theatrical Strike

United States of America
The negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood studios have been ongoing for 113 days, marking the longest TV/theatrical strike in the union's history.
The union members have been on strike since July, demanding higher compensation in the streaming TV era and assurances that their digital likenesses will not be used without their permission.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union and Hollywood studios continue their negotiations over a new three-year contract deal. The negotiations have been ongoing for 113 days, marking the longest TV/theatrical strike in the union's history.

The latest offer from the studios was delivered on Friday, with the union's negotiating committee set to meet on Saturday to prepare for further discussions. Despite the protracted negotiations, there is cautious optimism that a deal is in sight. However, the union has responded to the latest offer from major studios and streaming services, stating that they have not yet reached an agreement on several items, including the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

SAG-AFTRA presented a new AI proposal on Wednesday, seeking assurances that their digital likenesses will not be used without their permission. Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos stated that negotiations are ongoing to resolve the strike. The union members have been on strike since July, demanding higher compensation in the streaming TV era.

The strike, which has lasted nearly four months, has taken on increased urgency as both sides aim to resolve the standoff in time to save the remainder of the winter television season. The union's negotiating committee is determined to secure the right deal to end the strike responsibly.
