Stalled Negotiations: Actors' Strike Continues as Studios Await Response

The actors' union, Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, has reported no progress in their efforts to end the ongoing strike, which has now reached 113 days, the longest in history. The union is awaiting a response from the studios on their comprehensive counter-proposal, which includes limitations on the use of artificial intelligence to recreate actors' likenesses and performances. The studios have warned that unless a deal is reached this week, it will be impossible to salvage half a season of scripted television and the 2024 summer movie season is increasingly in peril. Other demands from the union include general wage increases, improved compensation for streaming programs, and better health and retirement benefits.
