SAG-AFTRA Accuses Studios of "Bully Tactics" as Talks Suspended

Headline at 4am Studios Say SAG-AFTRA Talks Suspended: Gap Between Parties Is "Too Great"
"Negotiations between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA have been suspended after SAG-AFTRA presented its most recent proposal on October 11," the trade association representing studios and streamers in negotiations said in a press release on Wednesday night. "After meaningful conversations, it is clear that the gap between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA is too great, and conversations are no longer moving us in a productive direction."
In the message, the AMPTP singled out the union's proposal for casts to receive a cut of streaming platform revenue as "an untenable economic burden" that would cost more than $800 million per year. The trade association also referred to "numerous remaining open items" but did not explicitly state which ones those might be. When the two parties restarted negotiations on Oct. 2, they still had yet to come to terms on AI regulations and minimum wage rates, among other issues.
The development came after the fifth day of negotiations between the union and studios and streamers since SAG-AFTRA initially went on strike on July 14. During the renewed talks, which took place at SAG-AFTRA's Los Angeles headquarters and which was attended by studio heads including Netflix's Ted Sarandos, Disney's Bob Iger, NBCUniversal's Donna Langley and Warner Bros. Discovery's David Zaslav, the union's streaming revenue proposal remained a major sticking point, per sources.
In its missive, the AMPTP presented what it said was the studios' latest offer to the performers' union. Among the offerings, it said, was a "success-based residual" for high-budget SVOD titles, which is what the Writers Guild of America cinched in its latest negotiations. Also included were issues that SAG-AFTRA has been looking to make headway on for years: an increase to pension and health contribution caps, between 22 and 33 percent, and the incorporation of performance capture work in SAG-AFTRA's TV/theatrical agreement. The AMPTP said it had offered the same minimum rate increases that it had offered the DGA and WGA (5 percent, 4 percent and 3.5 percent over the course of the contract) and the AMPTP additionally touted that it suggested "a 76% increase in High Budget SVOD foreign residuals for the four largest streaming services," which suggests that the group offered SAG-AFTRA the foreign residuals formula that the Directors Guild of America and WGA received in their contract negotiations.

This is devastating. Mr Sedona works for a motion picture vendor and has been unemployed since mid July.
He is among hundreds of thousands of workers, below the line and who provide goods and services to the motion picture industry and have been left unemployed for months.
Waiting to see what the actors have to say for themselves. This looks like the same deal the writers and directors got.
