SAG-AFTRA and Hollywood studios have reached a tentative agreement, ending the record-breaking 118-day strike. The deal includes an increase in minimum wages of 7%, a “streaming participation bonus,” higher pension and health contributions, and protections against artificial intelligence. This is Los Angeles SAG-AFTRA member Emily Kincaid, who highlighted the sacrifices made by union members to reach the historic agreement.

Emily Kincaid: “We have a lot of our strike captains on the line that have been close to eviction and have had their only meal of the day be while they’re striking. So it has not been easy. But we all have come together for a singular purpose, and we’ve all helped each other. And we knew we wanted to keep going until we got the deal that we deserved.”
