Members have authorized a strike if negotiators cannot reach a deal, and A-list stars including Jennifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep have said they are ready to walk off the job.<\/p>\n<p>They would join about 11,500 members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), who went on strike in early May. That walkout sent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hollywood-studios-racing-to-avoid-actors-strike-at-midnight\/\" title=\"Hollywood studios rush to dodge actors' strike by midnight.\">late-night television talk shows<\/a> into endless reruns and disrupted most production for the fall TV season and the filming of some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/from-chasing-deals-to-turning-off-screens-cineworld-files-for-u-s-bankruptcy\/\" title=\"From chasing deals to turning off screens: Cineworld files for U.S. bankruptcy\">big-budget movies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A strike by SAG-AFTRA would force more sets to shut down and pile pressure on studios to find a resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Late on Tuesday, SAG-AFRA negotiators agreed to a studio request to call in a federal mediator. But the union said studio representatives had &#8220;abused our trust&#8221; with leaks to the media and it would not budge from the Wednesday night deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Hollywood has not faced a double strike since 1960, when members of the WGA and the Screen Actors Guild called work stoppages in a fight over residuals from films sold to TV networks.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the unions are battling Netflix, Walt Disney and other companies over base pay and residuals from streaming services and other issues including the use of generative AI. Actors want assurances that their digital images will not be used without their permission.  <\/p>\n<p>Negotiations were taking place at a difficult time for media companies that have spend billions of dollars on programming to try and attract new streaming customers.<\/p>\n<p>Disney, Comcast Corp&#8217;s NBCUniversal and Paramount Global each lost hundreds of millions of dollars from streaming in the most recent quarter. At the same time, the rise of online video has eroded television ad revenue as traditional TV audiences shrink.<\/p>\n<p>The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which negotiates on behalf of the studios, has declined to comment about its talks with SAG-AFTRA. <\/p>\n<p>With the writers, the AMPTP said it had offered &#8220;generous&#8221; pay increases but could not agree to all of the writers&#8217; demands. The studios and the WGA have not held talks since the writers&#8217; strike began on May 2.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Lisa Richwine; Editing by Bill Berkrot)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/hollywood-studios-racing-to\/attachment\/file-photo-writers-guild-of-america-holds-march-and-rally-3\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/hollywood-studios-racing-to\/attachment\/file-photo-members-of-the-writers-guild-of-america-protest-6\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<h3>Other News:<\/h3>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s Documents trial could be after the 2024 Election while things get dicey at Caesar&#8217;s Palace. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>Rudy Farias was reported missing at 17-years-old and showed up eight years later. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>Riverton, Utah Mayor Trent Staggs sits down with One America&#8217;s Jessamyn Dodd to discuss his campaign<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>There is a documentary being shown on EpochTV. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>By Sruthi Shankar and Medha Singh (Reuters) -A &#8220;special rebalance&#8221; of the Nasdaq 100 index will take place later this month as\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>By Huw Jones LONDON (Reuters) &#8211; The European Union&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illumina-hit-with-record-476-million-eu-antitrust-fine-over-grail-deal\/\" title=\"Illumina fined 6 million by EU for Grail deal.\">banking watchdog urged stablecoin issuers<\/a> on Wednesday to voluntarily comply with &#8216;guiding principles&#8217;\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>By Donny Kwok and Scott Murdoch HONG KONG (Reuters) &#8211; China&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/state-level-republicans-push-back-on-big-tech\/\" title=\"State-Level Republicans Push Back on Big Tech\">major tech companies<\/a> have shed more than $1 trillion in value\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>By John McCrank NEW YORK (Reuters) &#8211; Exchange operator Cboe Global Markets on Tuesday filed amended applications to list and trade shares\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hollywood studios and SAG-AFTRA union are in urgent talks to prevent a second labor strike in the entertainment industry.
