Contract negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP have reached a stalemate, leading to a strike vote by SAG-AFTRA’s National Board. The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) agreed to bring in a federal mediator to help in reaching a new three-year deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), representing major studios and streamers. However, after more than four weeks of bargaining, the AMPTP has refused to offer a fair deal on important issues for SAG-AFTRA members. In response, SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee unanimously recommended a strike to the National Board, whose vote will take place on Thursday morning. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher expressed disappointment with the AMPTP’s disrespectful and insulting responses, emphasizing the need for the companies to engage in good faith negotiations. If the strike is approved, it will impact the ability of SAG-AFTRA members to work. A press conference will be held following the National Board vote to provide updates and details on the strike. This comes after the Directors Guild of America (DGA) reached a ratified three-year deal with the AMPTP, addressing various issues such as wages, streaming residuals, safety, diversity, and creative rights. In contrast, negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP have been ongoing, with both sides hoping to reach a fair agreement by the deadline on June 30th. However, some SAG-AFTRA members have expressed concerns and are pushing for a stronger stance in negotiations. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher has received support from both union political parties for her re-election, signaling their approval of her leadership. Amidst these developments, the outcome of the strike vote and its potential impact on the entertainment industry remain uncertain.
