The union representing Hollywood actors, SAG-AFTRA, has agreed to resume bargaining with the major studios more than two months after its members went on strike.
, marking the first time in 60 years both unions have held work stoppages at the same time.
Negotiations began June 7, ahead of which SAG-AFTRA secured a strike authorization from members with a 98% approval margin. The SAG-AFTRA contract expired on June 30 and was extended through July 12, but the sides were unable to reach agreement on a new deal. The union has been pushing for an increase in minimum wages to counter the effects of inflation, higher residuals for shows on streaming platforms and greater protections related to the use of Artificial Intelligence.SAG-AFTRA also has pushed for curbs in the use of self-taped auditions, saying the practice puts undue pressure and costs on performers trying to get work.
