\u201cAfter meaningful conversations, it is clear that the gap between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA is too great, and conversations are no longer moving us in a productive direction<\/a>,\u201d read a press release from the trade association, which represents major companies such as Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Disney, Discovery-Warner, NBC Universal, Paramount and Sony. \u201cWe hope that SAG-AFTRA will reconsider and return to productive negotiations soon.\u201d<\/p>\nAccording to the AMPTP, the proposal for actors to receive a two percent cut of streaming platform revenue caused the biggest divide. The organization alleged that it would cost more than \u201c$800 million per year\u201d \u2014 an \u201cuntenable economic burden\u201d \u2014 and noted that there are also still \u201cnumerous remaining open items\u201d left on the table, which SAG \u201cpresented few, if any, moves on.\u201d Further details were not specified.<\/p>\n
In response, SAG-AFTRA, which represents approximately 160,000 actors<\/a>, accused the AMPTP of implementing \u201cbullying tactics\u201d against the guild, claiming the studios\u00a0 \u201cintentionally misrepresented to the press the cost of the above proposal\u201d by 60 percent.<\/p>\n\u201cThey have done the same with AI, claiming to protect performer consent, but continuing to demand \u2018consent\u2019 on the first day of employment for use of a performer\u2019s digital replica for an entire cinematic universe (or any franchise project),\u201d the SAG statement continued.<\/p>\n
