SAG-AFTRA is set to officially resume negotiations with the studios next week, bringing Hollywood closer to getting movies and TV shows back in production. 2023 has been one of the biggest years for Hollywood as the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA both went on strike earlier this year to fight for better deals from the studios. As of this week, the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers finally reached an agreement after 148 days of striking.
It didn’t take long for the world to speculate how long it would be until SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP would finally return to the table for negotiations. Thankfully, it appears that is happening sooner than expected, as SAG-AFTRA officially announced on their website that they will be meeting for “bargaining” on Monday, October 2. They gave the following statement:
SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP will meet for bargaining on Monday, Oct. 2. Several executives from AMPTP member companies will be in attendance.
As negotiations proceed, we will report any substantiative updates directly to you.
We appreciate the incredible displays of solidarity and support from all of you over the last 76 days of this strike.
We urge you to continue coming out to the picket lines in strength and big numbers every day!
One Day Longer. One Day Stronger.
