The actors union wants to end the strike, but is waiting for a response from the studios to resume negotiations

SAG-AFTRA is ready to negotiate fair deals, but the organization representing the Hollywood studios remains silent.

Since July of this year, the actors’ strike has continued to cause controversy in Hollywood. The shutdown, which occurred due to the writers’ strike, has led to the suspension and postponement of several productions in the industry, continuing with no forecast that they will end – an action that depends only on the initiative AMPTPrepresentative of film and television studios in the United States, as SAG-AFTRAThe actors’ union has shown interest in ending the protests by resuming negotiations if the agreement is fair and meets the association’s demands.

A little over a month has passed since the start of the strike, SAG-AFTRA “remains ready to return to negotiations at any moment and thereby guarantee a fair agreement” put an end to the Hollywood actors’ strike. However, it seems that AMPTP doesn’t really want to make this process easy.

According to Deadline, the Union is waiting for the return Carol LombardiniPresident of AMPTP, for the resumption of negotiations, but the expectations from the meeting are not so encouraging:

“Unfortunately, as we saw in recent news about the WGA talks, [Sindicato dos Roteiristas]It appears that AMPTP is unwilling to make the necessary concessions to reach a fair agreement that would end the strikes.”

The actors’ strike is still ongoing, with no end date set.

August 15, according to Deadline, Duncan Crabtree-Irelandhead of the SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee, even told the press that “There was no contact between AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA”even despite the Union’s willingness to continue meetings in search of an agreement from the moment the suspensions began.

The lack of response to SAG-AFTRA efforts may be due to AMPTP focusing on trying to reach an agreement with Writers Guild of America, Writers Guild. The group went on strike more than 100 days and while negotiating meetings continue to be held, no satisfactory progress has been made to date.
