What the fuck are the studios gonna do, make movies and shows without actors?
Highlights: The negotiating committee of the actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, told its members on Saturday that it had received a “Last, Best and Final Offer” from the major entertainment studios as a strike that has brought much of Hollywood to a standstill continued for a 114th day.
“We are reviewing it and considering our response within the context of the critical issues addressed in our proposals,” the negotiating committee said. They did not say when they would respond to the offer, which came after an hourlong video conference call that included top studio executives.
Included in the offer was a wage increase that could be the highest in four decades, according to a person familiar with the offer who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. The studios also offered the actors a new way to determine residuals for streaming programs based on performance metrics, and protections on artificial intelligence, including consent and compensation requirements. The studios also offered an increase to the pension and health funds.
Nice hyperbole.
SAG-AFTRA has 170,000 voting members. Only a small fraction makes more than a million.
Good thing nobody needs more than $50k/year to live a respectable life in the US.
Los Angeles has one of the highest costs of living in the world
Just passing a bunch of money around at the top.
Nice retort. It's okay to be wrong friend, we're all here to learn and grow.
Yeah, people need to present logical arguments though.
