More meetings today between SAG AFTRA and the studios aka AMPTP. This is day 114 or so of a strike that has crippled Hollywood. If the strike isn’t resolved in the next few days there will be no spring TV season and very few 2024 movies.
The Union wants to be paid for streaming. The studios say they’ve met their demands. But it’s a lot of posturing. The Union has already set a picket schedule for next week. So they’re not giving up. The studios have to concede here or they won’t have product. TV viewing is already very low. Without new shows with actors, it will collapse.
Let’s hope the end is near!
Dear #SagAftraMember
We received an offer today from the AMPTP which they characterized as their “Last, Best, and Final Offer.” We are reviewing it and considering our response within the context of the critical issues addressed in our proposals
