How divided are SAG-AFTRA and the studios? Here’s what the two sides say

LA Times  

SAG-AFTRA members take to the picket line outside Netflix in Los Angeles. SAG-AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood actors and other performers, has laid out its contract proposals — and what it said were the film and television studios’ responses — shedding more light on the impasse that led to its walkout last week. “After we agreed to their compressed bargaining schedule, the AMPTP subjected us to repeated stonewalling and delays.” The studio alliance said SAG-AFTRA’s news release mischaracterized the negotiations and was an attempt to “deliberately distort” the studios’ offers. The union said the studios’ AI proposal would allow them to scan a background performer’s image for half a day’s pay and use it in perpetuity without the performer’s consent. According to SAG-AFTRA’s document, the studios tentatively committed to taking steps to ensure the appropriate qualified hair and makeup professionals are on set, but only for principal performers, not background actors.
