SAG-AFTRA meets up again with studio CEOs to come to a deal

Members of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists union are negotiating with Hollywood studio CEOs on Wednesday as the monthslong strike against studios continues.

The meet-up between the CEOs and unionizers came after talks between them failed to turn up results on Tuesday. The members of the union are on strike against various film studios, including Amazon/MGM, Apple, NBCUniversal, Disney/ABC/Fox, Netflix, Paramount/CBS, Sony, and Warner Bros. Discovery.

“We will continue to provide updates with you directly,” a statement from the union read. “Remember — don’t believe anything you read in the press unless it comes directly from us. Keep showing up on the picket lines and make your voices heard around the country.”

The strike against the studios started on July 14, with the strike making it to the 100-day mark on Saturday. Despite meeting up with the studio CEOs, the union has already scheduled two more protests for Thursday, one in Los Angeles, where the Paramount Studios lot is, and another in New York, where NBC Universal is located.

Amid the actors strike, writers for Hollywood shows and movies were also on strike, with the strike going on for over five months before getting resolved in September. In ending the strike, the writers were granted various demands, including protections from artificial intelligence and increased pay.

Last week, the union representing the striking actors encouraged its members to not dress up as characters for Halloween, such as movie and television characters. Members were also asked not to post photos of such costumes on social media, and to instead dress up as generic Halloween characters, such as ghosts and zombies.

The advice on Halloween was mocked by several prominent actors, including Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, who joked about criticizing his 8-year-old daughter over her costume, saying that she is not a union member “but she needs to learn.”
