SAG-AFTRA Weighs Studios' "Last, Best Offer" as Strike Nears End

SAG-AFTRA is still reviewing the studios' "last, best and final offer" as the actors guild strike enters its 115th day. No official meetings are scheduled for this week. Actor Zachary Quinto expresses support for guild president Fran Drescher and urges the union to hold strong. The studios are pushing for a completed deal by the end of October/beginning of November to salvage the TV season and movie slate. The strikes have caused financial losses for studios and the industry, impacting release schedules and the box office. The studios' proposal includes significant wage increases and AI protections for actors.
