"Cross-Union Support for Chicago SAG-AFTRA Rally Against AI in Hollywood Strike"

Over 1,000 SAG-AFTRA members and supporters marched in Chicago to rally for better working conditions and fair contracts. Actors expressed frustration over receiving meager residual checks, with one actor holding up a seven-cent check as a sign. Representatives from other unions, including the Writers Guild of America and the Chicago Teachers Union, spoke in solidarity. The rally aimed to address issues such as healthcare and wages, with demands seen as reasonable by actors. The president of SAG-AFTRA's Chicago local emphasized unity and urged the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to return to the negotiating table.
