SAG-AFTRA and Studios Extend Contract Talks, Averting Potential Strike

Hollywood studios and SAG-AFTRA have extended their negotiations deadline to July 12, avoiding a potential strike. The actors guild is advocating for protections against AI, increased residuals from streaming, and safeguarding of pension and health plans. If an agreement is not reached by July 12, the union can still call for a strike, which would impact productions in the US and internationally. The last time SAG-AFTRA went on strike was in 1980.
