Representatives for the striking SAG-AFTRA actors union and the major studios met Monday for the fourth time in eight days, but were unable to reach agreement on a new contract, the union announced.

Bargaining will resume on Wednesday, with the parties working independently on Tuesday, according to the union.

Representatives of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers also met last Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the first time the sides sat down with each other since the strike began July 14.

SAG-AFTRA 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.
