Negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and major studios raise the possibility of a strike in Hollywood. However, writers for Sesame Workshop have reached a tentative contract deal, averting a strike. The deal values writers and is expected to have a positive impact on the children's media landscape. Meanwhile, IATSE has scheduled additional bargaining dates in June to address the impact of AI on workers and protect their rights. The UAW has ratified contracts with automakers, securing higher pay and benefits for workers. The IATSE has also reached a tentative deal with major studios, including Disney and Netflix, with pay hikes and AI protections. A ratification vote is pending for a new labor contract for Hollywood film and TV crew members. SAG-AFTRA negotiators are working to protect video game actors from AI, but a strike is possible. SAG-AFTRA is launching a fourth tier of its indie video game contract to cover projects in the $15M to $30M budget range, aiming to provide more opportunities for union performers. #Hollywood #Strike #LaborNegotiations #AI #UAW #IATSE #SAGAFTRA #SesameWorkshop #WritersGuild #EntertainmentIndustry...
