SAG-AFTRA Awaits Studio Responses as Negotiations Continue

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) is waiting for Hollywood studios to respond to their proposals as negotiations for a new three-year labor contract continue. The union sent its latest AI proposal to the studios on Wednesday and a comprehensive counter proposal package on Saturday, but as of Thursday evening, they were still awaiting responses. Work will resume on the contract on Friday. The strike's effects are being felt throughout the industry, with HBO announcing delays in several shows, and Paramount Global reporting nearly $60 million in strike-related idle costs.
