This comes after SAG-AFTRA surpassed its second <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-agreement-in-sight-as-screen-actors-guild-deadline-approaches\/\" title=\"Screen Actors Guild deadline nears with no agreement in sight.\">negotiation deadline<\/a> with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) on Wednesday. The negotiations, which began on June 7 with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-takes-responsibility-for-the-afghanistan-debacle-but\/\" title=\"Biden Takes Responsibility For The Afghanistan Debacle, But \u2026\">initial deadline<\/a> of June 30, were extended to July 12. AMPTP represents major players in the industry such as Amazon\/MGM, Apple, NBCUniversal, Disney\/ABC\/Fox, Netflix, Paramount\/CBS, Sony, and Warner Bros.<\/p>\n<h3>Inflation Drops to 3% &#8211; A Major Boost for Biden and Bidenomics<\/h3>\n<p>The timing of this strike vote is significant, as it coincides with the union&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/army-investigation-finds-vanessa-guillen-was-sexually-harassed\/\" title=\"Army investigation finds Vanessa Guillen was sexually harassed\">90th anniversary<\/a>. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher expressed disappointment in the AMPTP&#8217;s responses to the union&#8217;s proposals, stating, &#8220;The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics and on others completely stonewalled us. Until they do negotiate in good faith, we cannot begin to reach a deal. We have no choice but to move forward in unity, and on behalf of our membership, with a strike recommendation to our National Board.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>AMPTP, on the other hand, expressed their disappointment in SAG-AFTRA&#8217;s decision to walk away from negotiations. They highlighted their offer of historic pay and residual increases, higher caps on pensions and health contributions, audition protections, shortened series option periods, and a groundbreaking AI proposal to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/screen-actors-guild-announes-strikes-after-month-of-negotiation-shutting-down-hollywood\/\" title=\"SAG declares strikes, halting Hollywood after lengthy talks.\">protect actors&#8217; digital likenesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>AMPTP predicts that this strike will deepen the financial hardship for thousands, as SAG-AFTRA represents approximately 160,000 performers.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) has been on strike for over 70 days, with over 11,500 writers involved. The WGA is also in a standoff with the same group of studios, networks, and streamers, fighting for higher wages.<\/p>\n<p>This marks a significant moment in history, as the last time both WGA and SAG-AFTRA were simultaneously on strike was in 1960, during Ronald Reagan&#8217;s tenure before he became president.<\/p>\n<p>This is a developing story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SAG-AFTRA National Board decided to strike after missing its negotiation deadline with the AMPTP.
