Hollywood actors' union ends historic strike with tentative deal
The Hollywood actors' union, Sag-Aftra, has reached a tentative deal with Hollywood studios, ending a four-month strike. The strike, along with a separate writers' strike, has caused major disruptions in the entertainment industry, delaying the release of several films. Actors have been demanding better pay and safeguards against the use of AI. The deal, which includes increased pay and AI guarantees, is considered a significant victory for Sag-Aftra. The strikes have cost the California economy over $6.5 billion so far.
