US Actors To Go On Strike Over Pay Rise And Image Rights by HonNL: 10:04am On Jul 13, 2023

American actors are poised to go on strike after negotiations between parties broke down.

Actors' trade union SAG-AFTRA - who represent 160,000 performers - say they have voted unanimously to recommend a strike after talks with Hollywood studios failed to reach an agreement. The vote will take place later today.

Writers in America have now been striking for two months, and should the actors' strike go ahead, it would be the first time since 1960 that both guilds have walked out simultaneously.

Two of the actors' big demands are higher pay and safeguards against unauthorised use of their images through artificial intelligence (AI).

A statement from SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher called the studio's response to actors' demands "insulting and disrespectful," claiming they had been "stonewalled completely" on certain issues.

She said: "SAG-AFTRA negotiated in good faith and was eager to reach a deal that sufficiently addressed performer needs, but the AMPTP's responses to the union's most important proposals have been insulting and disrespectful of our massive contributions to this industry.

"The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics and on others completely stonewalled us. Until they do negotiate in good faith, we cannot begin to reach a deal. We have no choice but to move forward in unity, and on behalf of our membership, with a strike recommendation to our National Board. The board will discuss the issue this morning and will make its decision."

Poverty in the land lol.

A FRAUGHT MEETING IN VILNIUS

Despite Biden’s best efforts to put a happy face on it, Vilnius will be remembered as the NATO Summit where tensions boiled over.
Zelensky denounced the Alliance’s admission policy as “absurd” and disrespectful. UK Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace chastised Zelensky for ingratitude. Lindsey Graham attacked the Biden administration for weakness. Ben Hodges criticized Jake Sullivan for lack of “strategic bravery.” Even NAFO mascot Adam Kinzinger no longer appears to be a “fella.”

The optics were even harsher than the words, with the NATO elites turning their backs on a frustrated Zelensky.
Biden’s assurance that Zelensky is “stuck” with the U.S. may come as cold comfort to both nations now that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed to meet expectations, huge amounts of expensive Western armor lay in ruins smoldering on the battlefield, Ukrainian casualties are horrific, and the U.S. has run out of 155mm artillery shells to give, forcing America to debase itself by sending cluster bombs.
The war effort is increasingly a shambles and the War Party is starting to turn on each other...

Clue from a nairalamder.

I wish NollyWood actors can learn from this, the inequality there is too much.
They are suffering, but they won't talk about it, because of celebrity packaging.

Freedom is part of Yoruba culture

Nsogbu Nsogbu people can't understand that's why small Simon Ekpa bully them

Kanu told his father's mate to "Shiiiit at home" and they locked up in the toilet, now Simon in Finland has started

AMVCA awards Yoruba producers featured many Ibo actors, even Mr Sabinus thank Lagos State for supporting him

Asabawood and Enuguwoood won't feature a single Yoruba... It's only Destiny Etiko and her gang, or Zuby Micheal

You guys are just so dull. This is not a political strike, it’s a protest against the big studios in Hollywood and not the government. It’s not everything you have to relate to Nigeria, educate yourself please. Merci 🙏🏾
