Negotiations between Hollywood studios and the SAG-AFTRA actors' union have been suspended as the two sides clashed over streaming revenue, the use of artificial intelligence and other issues at the core of a three-month work stoppage.
The breakdown in talks Wednesday interrupted attempts to end labor tensions that have put most U.S.-based film and television production on hold, cost the California economy billions and left thousands of crew members without work.
The WGA deal had raised hopes for a quick resolution with actors until the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers , late on Wednesday, said talks were suspended once it reviewed the most recent union proposal. "It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer," union negotiators said.
