This \u2063means that actors will receive more \u200dmoney \u2062each time their work is streamed. The agreement also guarantees better protections for actors against harassment and discrimination on set.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of diversity and inclusion, \u200dthe agreement stipulates that studios\u2062 must increase their efforts to hire underrepresented groups \u200bin \u2062the industry. This includes \u2064people of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. The union will also establish a task force to monitor and promote diversity and\u2063 inclusion initiatives in the industry.<\/p>\n<h3>Implications for the \u2063industry<\/h3>\n<p>The end\u2064 of the strike is a significant victory\u200b for\u200b unionized actors, as it demonstrates their collective power and ability \u2064to negotiate for their\u200d rights.
