(Reuters) – Negotiations between media companies and the union representing striking American actors will restart on Tuesday, both sides said in a joint statement on Saturday.
Talks collapsed last week when the sides clashed over streaming revenue and the use of artificial intelligence. The strike has disrupted film and television production, leaving thousands of production crew members, as well as actors, out of work.
Members of SAG-AFTRA, which represents 160,000 actors and other media professionals, have been on strike since July. The union is seeking an agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which negotiates on behalf of the studios.
“SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP will meet for negotiations on Tuesday, October 24 at SAG-AFTRA Plaza. Several executives from AMPTP member companies will be in attendance,” the joint statement said. He did not give more details.
Hollywood film and television writers ratified a new three-year contract earlier this month, ending their 148-day work stoppage.
