The breakdown in talks comes days after the Writers Guild of America voted almost unanimously to ratify their deal on Monday.
The Hollywood actors' union has accused studios of 'bullying tactics' as talks to end the three-month strike broke down on Wednesday. Studios, streaming services and production companies, under the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers , announced they had suspended negotiations. It said the gap between the two sides was too great to continue, despite an offer similar to the one that recently ended the writers' strike.
The union said its negotiators were 'profoundly disappointed' the studios had broken off talks. 'We have negotiated with them in good faith,' the letter read, 'despite the fact that last week they presented an offer that was, shockingly, worth less than they proposed before the strike began.' Actors have been on strike over issues including pay increases for streaming programming and control of the use of their images generated by artificial intelligence.
