What is the strike about? 5a4v65
The Hollywood actors' strike, in addition to the screenwriters', which began in 2023, is the result of a series of issues that have long worried professionals in the entertainment industry. Exhausting working conditions, unequal wages and the lack of adequate benefits have been some of the main complaints made by professionals who have decided to forces to claim their rights.
This is the first full-scale strike the audiovisual industry has held in years, the last being held by the acting class in 1983. The walkout has been led by the Actors Guild of America (SAG-AFTRA), whose sought significant improvements in their collective agreements and are willing to maintain the strike for as long as necessary.
The actors' claims 723s
The 2023 Actors' Strike has been marked by incisive claims, with emphasis on the need to review the royalties of the platforms of streaming. Currently, films are made available on these services as soon as they leave the theaters, however, unlike pay-TV channels, actors still do not receive a fair share of the profits generated by these reproductions. Most of the earnings end up withheld in the hands of executives, depriving professionals in the entertainment industry of a remuneration consistent with their contribution to the success of productions.
O Actors Union of the United States (SAG-AFTRA) alleges that payments of royalties granted to Hollywood artists have suffered a drastic reduction in the last ten years, accompanying the exponential growth of the streaming. This disparity is seen as unfair, considering the significant impact actors have on the popularity and profitability of the works they star in.
In addition, the indiscriminate use of artificial intelligence in studio productions is another point of great concern raised by the actors on strike. Many artists are digitally replicated in films and series without even being informed, which violates their image and privacy rights, as the practice occurs without proper consent. Furthermore, the lack of adequate financial compensation for this use of advanced technology further aggravates the situation.
