Hollywood studios have presented, what is being said as their “last, best, and final offer” to end the months-long SAG-AFTRA strike.
The union is reviewing it to see if it’s acceptable to bring to their members.
That offer comes from major studios like Netflix and Disney.
On Sunday, SAG-AFTRA updated its members about the ongoing negotiations in a post shared to X, formerly Twitter.
“The TV/ Theatrical Negotiating Committee analyzed and thoroughly discussed the AMPTP’s counter proposal all day and well into the night and will continue our deliberations on Monday,” the update read. “We will keep you updated.”
Variety reported that on Saturday the offer was presented during a Zoom meeting between CEOs of major studios with SAG-AFTRA. The meeting reportedly lasted about an hour and the union asked for more time to review the offer.
In the meantime, on social media, union members are calling on A-listers to call on CEOs.
Chelsea Schwartz posted this message to X and it’s been shared many times by members:
“The time has come for you to put pressure on the CEOs. Call the studio heads. Shout at them on social media. Tell them to accept our deal. You can help us end this strike and save our profession! We’re stronger together!”
Schwartz tagged big names like Tom Hanks, Taylor Swift, Oprah, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Issa Rae, Zendaya and more to share this message.
Actor Zachary Quinto called the current situation a tense moment and said the AMPTP’s “classic language” is “intimidation.”
“We cannot accept a deal that does not protect moving forward,” Quinto explained. “We cannot do it. I will hit that picket line on Monday. I’ll hit a picket line as many more days necessary for us to take care of ourselves, to take care of one another.”
SAG-AFTRA is encouraging all of their members to rejoin their members to do a rejoin those picket lines on Monday starting at 9:00 a.m.
“We are performers, united in purpose and determined in strength. It’s time to fight for what’s right,” the union wrote to X. “Find your place on the picket line today at http://Sagaftrastrike.org and be part of the change!”
Rallies are set to take place in front of places like Fox, Amazon, Netflix and more.
Monday marks 116 days since the work stoppage began in mid-July.
Many of the reasons why they went on strike, like with issues over AI and streaming residuals, is why they remain on strike.
