Impending SAG-AFTRA Strike Sparks Industry-Wide Concern and Calls for Mediation
Over 300 top agents participated in a Zoom call with SAG-AFTRA's negotiators to discuss potential strike-related issues, including series exclusivity, residuals, option periods, and the use of A.I. SAG-AFTRA leadership stated that members would be allowed to continue working on Actors' Equity Association and ACTRA projects after a strike was called. The call with agents took place on the same day that SAG-AFTRA leadership held a call with top publicists to discuss promotion protocols in the event of a strike. The AMPTP has requested assistance from the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service to prevent a potential strike, but SAG-AFTRA's agreement is required for mediation to proceed. Another negotiation extension is likely if a federal mediator is agreed upon.
