Hollywood Studios Seek Federal Mediation to Prevent SAG-AFTRA Strike

SAG-AFTRA has agreed to federal mediation for its contract but will not extend the deadline, leaving little time to avert a potential strike. The union expressed strained relations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and doubts the employers' intention to reach an agreement. High-level agents have been involved in negotiations, but time is running out. A SAG-AFTRA strike would halt scripted TV and film production by AMPTP companies worldwide. Members are preparing for a strike, with many showing support by joining the Writers Guild of America on picket lines. Major differences remain on issues such as artificial intelligence and streaming residuals, with SAG-AFTRA also seeking wage hikes and improved pension and health plans.
