“The issue will be central for… IATSE…too: if producers cut down on the number of real performers in a project, they’ll want to cut down on costume designers, hair & makeup artists, & other below-the-line workers also. Actors fear that without sufficient protections, they will effectively lose control of their faces, their voices, & their bodies.”
“While Moody’s Investors Service warned that the cost of the new #WGA and SAG-AFTRA contracts, along with the recently ratified Directors’ Guild of America (#DGA) contract, could cost the studios $450–600 million per year, that is roughly equivalent to what Zaslav alone made over the past five years.”
“…SAG-AFTRA’s executive vice president Ben Whitehair told the crowd from the stage. 'Wall Street would love for us to think that factory workers, that delivery drivers, that hotel workers, that writers and actors have nothing in common. But you all know that is not the case.'”
