US actors are poised to go on strike after negotiations between parties broke down.
The high-profile event was pulled forward by one hour at short notice on Wednesday night, potentially to cushion it should any strike action be announced later on Thursday., and should the actors' strike go ahead, it would be the first time since 1960 that both guilds have walked out simultaneously. "The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics and on others completely stonewalled us. Until they do negotiate in good faith, we cannot begin to reach a deal."Matt Damon: 'Actors need fair contracts'AMPTP - which negotiates on behalf of Netflix, Disney and other companies - said it was"deeply disappointed" that SAG-AFTRA had decided to walk away from negotiations.
SAG-AFTRA's contract with AMPTP came to an end on Wednesday, after being extended from the original expiry date of 30 June.'I am scared. I don't want AI to take over'Potentially the biggest sticking point in negotiations is over AI, with actors keen to see a guarantee the technology will not be used to replace the duties performed by actors, potentially rendering them obsolete.
