Negotiators for SAG-AFTRA and the major studios met Wednesday for the second time in three days and scheduled additional talks for Friday and Monday.
“We have concluded today’s bargaining with the AMPTP and will resume talks on Friday, October 6,” according to a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, from Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, referring to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.
“The parties will be working internally over the weekend, resuming Monday, Oct. 9. Please continue to come out to picket lines or other strike activities in your local.”
SAG-AFTRA represents about 160,000 actors. Its demands include general wage increases, protections against the use of actor images through artificial intelligence, boosts in compensation for successful streaming programs and improvements in health and retirement benefits.
