Contract negotiations between Hollywood studios and streaming companies and the performers' union SAG-AFTRA have broken down once again. So for now, the nearly three-month-long strike continues.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the major studios, announced in a statement that the gap between their proposals and the union's was "too great" and that conversations "are no longer moving us in a productive direction."
Just two weeks ago, the studio heads of Disney, Netflix, NBC Universal and Warner Brothers Discovery had resumed negotiating with SAG-AFTRA, which represents 160,000 actors, dancers, voiceover artists and stunt performers. The first round of their contract negotiations stalled in mid-July, and union members began to strike, joining striking screenwriters who had walked off their jobs in May.

..."The union called on its members to continue to picket outside studios. They have been joined in solidarity by other Hollywood workers, including screenwriters in the Writers Guild of America. On Monday, the WGA members voted to approve the contract their leaders made with the AMPTP, ending their nearly five month strike."
