Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA’s executive director and chief negotiator, said the gains made in the deal justified the struggle.

SAG-AFTRA strike ends: Actors’ union reaches tentative agreement with Hollywood studios after 118 days

'It’s an agreement that our members can be proud of. I’m certainly very proud of it,' Crabtree-Ireland told The Associated Press in an interview. 

'It&rsquo;s an agreement that our members can be proud of. I&rsquo;m certainly very proud of it,' Crabtree-Ireland told The Associated Press in an interview.&nbsp;

After 118 days of strike, the SAG-AFTRA actors&rsquo; union and the studios reached a tentative deal on a new contract.
The breakthrough means Hollywood can ramp up to full production for the first time since May, once union members vote to ratify the deal in the coming weeks.
The union said negotiators had reached a preliminary deal on a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents Walt Disney, Netflix and other media companies.
Members of SAG-AFTRA went on a strike in mid-July asking for an increase in minimum salaries, a share of streaming service revenue, and protection from being replaced by &lsquo;digital replicas&rsquo; generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
Sharing the news, SAG-AFTRA tweeted, &lsquo;A huge shoutout to our LA members who joined the picket lines today. Thank you for your dedication during this fight. We are #SagAftraStrong TOGETHER. #SagAftraStrong&rsquo;
Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA&rsquo;s executive director and chief negotiator, said the gains made in the deal justified the struggle.
'It&rsquo;s an agreement that our members can be proud of. I&rsquo;m certainly very proud of it. We said we would only accept a fair, equitable and respectful deal, and that&rsquo;s precisely what this deal is. So I think our members, as we are able to release more of the details of it, will look at them and say, now this is something that was worth being on strike for,' Crabtree-Ireland told The Associated Press in an interview.&nbsp;
Many A-list stars including George Clooney voiced solidarity with lower-level actors and urged union leadership, including SAG-AFTRA President and &lsquo;The Nanny&rsquo; actor Fran Drescher, to reach a resolution.
Many film and TV sets shut down when the Writers Guild of America (WGA) called a strike in the spring. WGA members returned to writing scripts in late September, but the ongoing SAG-AFTRA work stoppage left many productions dark.
The disruptions cost California more than $6 billion in lost output, according to a Milken Institute estimate.
Major films, including the latest installment of the &lsquo;Mission: Impossible&rsquo; franchise and Disney's live-action remake of the animated classic &lsquo;Snow White&rsquo;, were postponed until 2025.

The union of striking actors said on Monday that it could not agree to studios' "last, best and final offer" to end the months-long walk-out.

SAG-AFTRA says no agreement on 'last, best and final' offer by studios

In a statement the committee said that they were ready to bring the 116-day strike to an end but are still not in agreement with the body representing Disney, Netflix, Warner, Universal, Paramount and Sony.

The stalemate between Hollywood actors and studios continues after the former could not come to agreement on a final offer

The union representing striking actors said Monday it could not agree to studios' "last, best and final offer" issued over the weekend in a bid to end a months-long stalemate that has crippled Hollywood.
Negotiators for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) have been mulling the proposal since Saturday, as studios seek to halt a damaging stoppage that has brought TV and movie production to a standstill for four months.
In a statement to members posted on social media on Monday the committee said they were determined to bring the 116-day strike to an end "responsibly," but had not yet found common ground with the body representing Disney, Netflix, Warner, Universal, Paramount and Sony.
"There are several essential items on which we still do not have an agreement, including (Artificial Intelligence)" the statement said.
"We will keep you informed as events unfold."
Pressure has been rapidly mounting for a deal. Unemployed actors have increasingly been struggling to make ends meet, and studios already face gaping holes in their release schedules for next year and beyond.
Talks to reach a deal in recent days were attended by studio CEOs, underlining the urgency to end the crisis.
SAG-AFTRA represents some 160,000 performers. Actors below Hollywood's upper echelons say it has become almost impossible to earn a decent living, as long-standing pay structures have failed to keep pace with inflation and industry changes.
In particular, the growth of streaming platforms -- who typically order fewer episodes per series, and pay minimal "residuals" when a hit show gets rewatched -- has severely eroded their incomes.
But the use of Artificial Intelligence -- particularly the notion that an actor's likeness could be used long after they have filmed a role -- has been a sticking point.
Studios, who have already delayed the release of major films such as "Dune: Part Two" and the next "Mission: Impossible" installment, are eager to restart productions on hit shows like "Stranger Things" in time for next year.
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos told AFP negotiations were still going on.
"We're at the table and we're working really hard to get it done," he said.
"I feel like we're really close. But you know, these are complicated deals and we're navigating tricky waters. Our goal is we want to get folks back to work."
- $6.5 billion cost - &nbsp;When SAG-AFTRA walked out in mid-July, Hollywood writers were also on strike.
It was the first time that the two unions had headed to the picket lines simultaneously since 1960, when actor (and future US president) Ronald Reagan led the protests.
But writers struck a deal with studios in September. High-level talks between studios and the actors' union began soon after.
The overall cost of the industry-wide Hollywood standstill is now estimated to be at least $6.5 billion, mainly from lost wages.
Last week, SAG-AFTRA chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland told members he was "cautiously optimistic" after both sides compromised on minimum pay demands, and a bonus structure for starring in hit shows or films.
In previous rounds of talks, studios offered to create strict protections requiring consent and compensation for AI, but the actors' union argued these did not go far enough.

The hope that the three-month strike by performers would come to an end soon has been shattered as negotiations between major Hollywood studios and actors have been suspended.

Hollywood strike: Contract negotiations between studios and actors suspended 

The hope that the three-month strike by performers would come to an end soon has been shattered as negotiations between major Hollywood studios and actors have been suspended.

Negotiations between major Hollywood studios and actors have been suspended, shattering hopes that the three-month strike by performers would come to an end soon.
Sharing the news, the studios said that the gap between the two sides was too great to make continuing worth it, despite an offer they said was as good as the one that recently ended the Writers&rsquo; strike.
&lsquo;After meaningful conversations, it is clear that the gap between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA is too great,&rsquo; the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which bargains on behalf of the studios, said in a statement.
They added the SAG-AFTRA proposal would cost companies an additional $800 million a year and create &lsquo;an untenable economic burden&rsquo;.
&lsquo;We went into those rooms with our own open mind and a goal of establishing a dialogue with those CEOs. We were very happy they were there because here are ultimate decision-makers who have the power to say yes,&rsquo; Crabtree-Ireland said.
&lsquo;We gave them a full set of counterproposals yesterday. We made changes to our AI proposal. We made dramatic changes to what used to be our streaming revenue share proposal. We took it out of revenue share completely at their insistence,&rsquo; he added.
SAG-AFTRA criticised their opponents&rsquo; &lsquo;bullying tactics&rsquo; and said they were wildly mischaracterizing their offers.
Actors' union SAG-AFTRA has been on strike since July. The two sides have been fighting over issues such as compensation and the use of artificial intelligence.
On Oct. 2, for the first time since the strike began July 14, SAG-AFTRA resumed negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, streaming services and production companies in strike talks.
When negotiations resumed with writers in September, their strike ended five days later, but similar progress was not made with the actors union.

The union unanimously voted to stop working after their contract expired and negotiations stalled with the AMPTP, which represents streaming giants such as Disney, Netflix, and Amazon.
SAG-AFTRA and the WGA are demanding an increase in pay and residuals to reflect the evolving landscape of the streaming era.
