SAG-AFTRA voted to authorize a strike at the end of the month if major Hollywood studios won't negotiate their contract terms.
Thousands of actors may stop working at the end of June if their negotiations with Hollywood studios don't end with new contracts.
"We are approaching these negotiations with the goal of achieving a new agreement that is beneficial to SAG-AFTRA members and the industry overall," the AMPTP said in a statement. Both want increased pay and residual payments, as many say wages haven't kept up with the evolving streaming landscape and the current state of the economy. They also both want to be protected from the use of artificial intelligence in production, whether it be using the actors' likeness or A.I. replacing a writer's job altogether.
