The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has unanimously voted to strike, with union members set to picket from midnight Thursday, following failed negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The main disputes are over streaming residuals, the impact of AI technology, and union member earnings, with the AMPTP accused of devaluing member's work and refusing to offer a fair deal, even though they reportedly offered historic pay increases and substantial protections for members' digital likenesses. |
