SAG-AFTRA Deliberations Stall as Studios Push for Permanent Ownership of Actors' Images

The SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee is discussing the studios' latest offer, potentially leading to a final union-side vote on the deal. The committee is voting on the shape of the final package to be sent to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) for approval. Sources indicate optimism that the deal could be reached and voted on unanimously by the negotiating committee. However, the deal still needs to be approved by the union's national board and ratified by its membership.
