After 118-Day Strike, SAG-AFTRA and Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers Reach Historic Tentative Deal Worth Over a Billion Dollars

After 118 days of striking, SAG-AFTRA, the union representing 150,000 film and television performers, has reached a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The deal includes more protections around self-taped auditions, pension caps raised for the first time in over four decades, an 11% pay bump for background actors, and increases in streaming residuals and protections around the use of artificial intelligence. Stars are celebrating the end of the strike, and the union is hopeful that the new contract will provide more stability and security for its members.
