Abstract

The article discusses the potential for a strike by the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) amid ongoing contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Following a significant strike authorization vote, SAG-AFTRA is negotiating for better pay, streaming residuals, and protections against the use of artificial intelligence in their work. The union has expressed concerns about the impact of streaming and AI on job security and compensation. If an agreement is not reached, SAG-AFTRA may join the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in a strike, which could halt film and television productions. [Extracted from the article]
