What's The Strike about?The Actors ' union, Sag-Aftra, wants studios and streaming services to offer better pay, increased royalties, higher contributions to their pension and health plans, and safeguards on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the industry.
While The Strikes last, don't expect to see Hollywood Stars at film premieres, festivals, conventions or red carpets. Union rules prohibit actors from taking any work, including promotion or publicity for projects.
