Will Actors Ratify The New SAG Contract?

#194: Members of the Screen Actors Guild have now seen everything that is in tentative contract that union leadership negotiated with studios and streamers — and not everyone is happy with it.  The big sticking point? Artificial intelligence. Some union members don’t think the A.I. protections worked out in the contract go far enough, and are encouraging a “no” vote on the deal.  For many in the industry, the chance that things could stall again is alarming. The writers and actors strike — combined — dragged on for 6 months, crippling a lot of people and businesses financially. And a lot of folks just want to get back to work. The union vote on this contract is expected to wrap up tomorrow (Tuesday Dec. 5th) so we thought we’d check in on where things stand.Guest: LAist reporter Robert Garrova
