Looks like there won't be talks between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP today after all, with negotiations reportedly rescheduled for Thursday after the actors' union took additional time to craft a response to the most recent proposals from the studios & streamers (never a bad thing).
During Tuesday's meeting, the AMPTP presented a revised take on its success-based streaming bonus plan – a plan meant to counter the union's proposal, which would include a fee on streaming subscribers. In addition, there is still some distance when it comes to setting minimum wages for performers. The studios & streamers bumped their offer from 5% to 7% in the first year of the contract , while the union is eyeing an 11% increase during the first year across the board.
Substantial increases in Schedule F money breaks of between 11% and 41%. The 41% increase applies to one-hour television programs, which covers the largest number of productions done under the Agreement. A 25% increase in span money breaks. Covering performance capture work under the Agreement, which the Union has sought for 20 years.
