The guild of actors and performers had threatened strike action over issues such as revenue from productions released on streaming sites like Netflix, working conditions for actors required to travel and pay for background actors.
It’s these people who will really benefit from this new deal, with the new conditions helping to protect them from being unfairly rewarded for their efforts.
Sound the legal news klaxon, a potential actors strike has been averted thanks to a tentative new deal being agreed between The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.
Some fans may be questioning why, when top actors earn millions per season or per movie, the threat of such action is necessary.
