On Monday, as the Wednesday night negotiation deadline between SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) drew nearer, union leadership began to circle the wagons.
Several sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that over 300 top agents got on a Zoom call with Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the union’s chief negotiator and national executive director, and Ray Rodriguez, the chief contracts officer, to answer questions about negotiations and operating during a potential strike.
Negotiation topics that were covered on the call included series exclusivity, residuals, option periods and, of course, uses of A.I., sources say. Additionally, the leadership said members would be allowed to continue work on Actors’ Equity Association and Actra (Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists) projects after a strike was called; SAG-AFTRA would wait to grant waivers until after the work stoppage commenced.
SAG-AFTRA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Staffers at Gimlet and Parcast’s unions said Friday they were “blindsided” by Spotify’s decision to cancel a slate of original podcasts and lay off “at least” 38 employees at the studios, criticizing the audio giant for not giving enough marketing support or providing clear listenership goals for impacted production staff.
In a joint statement, the Gimlet and Parcast unions said the layoffs resulted in each of their bargaining units losing about 30 percent of their members. The Gimlet union has 50 unit members, while the Parcast union has 49, according to a spokesperson for the Writers Guild of America, East. “These aren’t small cuts, they are massive restructurings,” the unions said. “Each shop has lost seasoned producers, writers and editors.”
Spotify also allegedly gave some impacted employees “as little as an hour to close out their work” after being informed of the cancellations, according to the statement,...
