The SAG-AFTRA union have agreed to a tentative deal with major studios which will bring to an end the longest actors' strike in Hollywood history. Reaching an agreement with the likes of Disney and Netflix on Wednesday November 8, the 118-day long strike officially ended just after midnight earlier today.
On behalf of the union, the negotiating committee voted unanimously on the deal which will then be presented to the SAG-AFTRA national board for final approval this Friday. That three-year contract will see actors protected against artificial intelligence (AI) for the first time in history, with the agreement also increasing minimum salaries and introducing new bonuses which will be paid by streaming services.
