Though the #SAGAFTRAstrike limited TV & theatrical work with certain production entities, the Interim Agreement enabled work to continue, and the unity of professional actors plus the outpouring of support of partner unions was an amazing experience of solidarity. From rallies to food drives, from the NAACP National Convention to Labor Day events, from Fenway Park to Pilgrim Memorial State Park, we were #SAGAFTRAstrong and ultimately made significant contractual gains after 118 days.
A deliberate tactic of SAG-AFTRA during contract negotiations was to make hiring actors the most affordable solution companies have, to make replacing actors with digital things impractical.

So, #SAGAFTRA negotiating committee member Jason Winston George shares about the AI protections in the tentative agreement.
So Kate Bond had questions about the AI provisions in the SAG-AFTRA tentative agreement, and wisely asked Jeff Bennett, SAG-AFTRA general council about them.
Now they have shared the replies here, and it’s worth clicking through and swiping through the images to see the questions and answers if you too have questions about this:
"Alone we beg, together we bargain" isn't just for individual people: it means unions working together succeed together. IATSE and Teamsters are up next year and SAG-AFTRA doesn’t have a new contract in place yet. This year we set the tone, next year we bring it home. 4/4 end

We can bring home to the CEOs this everlasting truth: employees deserve a fair day's pay for a fair day's work in safe, stable working conditions. 3/4

An "activist" shareholder, Nelson Peltz, seeks to dismantle Disney. These companies and CEOs hurt themselves and us, they need our work, badly. And will try hard to divide us to get it for nothing. 2/4

The companies can't endure additional strikes.
Netflix's "new" section is a throwback to retro content; CEOs got a compensation cut due to shareholder-imposed pay reductions. Iger and Disney face multiple lawsuits from various investor groups. 1/4

Will we lose less with the previous agreement that we had before the strike? That one didn't require consent at all for Al, it had no guardrails, right?
Zero protection is not ideal.
We have all the way through December 5 to decide. No rush.
The entertainment industry is _not_ the tech industry. Doing things like the tech industry does them is not what the entertainment industry is about, even if the CEOs forget that.
The AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA had to agree _this month_ to have the word “telegraph” replaced with the words “email or text” in the tentative agreement. North America hasn’t had a telegraph system since 2006.

CEOs, unfamiliar with labor issues, lack experience and mentors in organized labor. They must grasp that relying on a Victorian labor playbook harms _themselves_ in the 21st century. Collaboration with labor is crucial. Harvard Business Review thinks so too:

It is Friday, November 10th and Stuff has Happened.
The actors strike has concluded as SAG-AFTRA has reached a deal with employers. Also, Meta seems to be intentionally preying on minors, an airplane had less windows that most would prefer, a robo-taxi company recalled their whole fleet, and a docked ship left its mark.
