SAG-AFTRA negotiations have been suspended, as the AMPTP says the union is seeking an untenable streaming residual.

$0.57 per subscriber per year sounds pretty fair and reasonable to me for streaming.

Edit: That's what SAG-AFTRA were asking for and AMPTP declined.

I don't know. It's kind of weird for everyone asking for residuals for doing what they were already paid to do. I'm all for increasing their normal pay, but asking for a pay increase and getting residuals on top of everything you touch is kind of reaching. I'd kill to get a cut of the pie that every AI server I bring back up generates, on top of my raises.

It's more about the fact that why does the streaming service get to earn money in perpetuity for someone else's work and the creators of that work don't get to as well?

If you are jealous of that model, you should probably be fighting for it for yourself as well, not blocking the way for the ones who are trying to fight for themselves.
