SAG-AFTRA’s ass of a new contract—which offered basically zero AI and digitized likeness protections, despite that being one of the big reasons they went on strike in the first place, and came about after a group of A Listers pressured leadership to Just Take Any Deal—was ratified 78% approve and 22% decline but with only 38% voter turnout which is abysmal and means that only 15% of SAG-AFTRA members actually voted to approve the contract but apparently (!!) that’s UP from the last two contract votes (27% and 15% in 2020 and 2017, respectively) actors really will never beat the lazy and stupid allegations
A group of Hollywood stars including George Clooney, Emma Stone, Ben Affleck, Tyler Perry and Scarlett Johansson have proposed a $150M deal to SAG-AFTRA
It would span 3 years and defray costs to AMPTP signatories by eliminating the cap on membership dues, to be used to bolster health benefits and other areas that SAG-AFTRA is trying to shore up
They've also proposed the lowest names on the call sheet would be the first to get paid
George Clooney says "we think it’s fair for us to pay more into the union ... we wanted to show that we’re all in this together and find ways to help close the gap on actors getting paid"
