SAG-AFTRA members walked off the job in July to demand higher
compensation in the streaming TV era plus protections around the
use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other gains.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP),
which represents Walt Disney, Netflix and other companies,
presented its latest offer on Saturday, SAG-AFTRA leadership
said in an update to members.
"We are reviewing it and considering our response within the
context of the critical issues addressed in our proposals," the
union said.
A representative for the AMPTP did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
Earlier this week, union leaders expressed "cautious optimism"
that a deal could be reached soon but also said there were gaps
between the two sides on various issues including the use of AI.
Actors are seeking assurances that their digital likenesses will
not be used without their permission.
The work stoppage, along with a Writers Guild of America strike
that ended in September, has cost the California economy at
least $6 billion, according to a Milken Institute estimate. Most
scripted film and television production remains on hold.
