Amy Adams was seen on the picket line in Burbank, California, outside Warner Bros. Studios.

The movie star, 49, wore a SAG-AFTRA On Strike and added the word “Human” during her Friday afternoon picket.

The union authorized the strike on July 14, citing growing concerns over the use of artificial intelligence and residue streaming.

Dermot Mulroney, Jeri Ryan, Frances Fisher and Ana Ortiz were also on hand for the studio picket.

The strike was approved after SAG-AFTRA failed to reach a deal with some of Hollywood’s biggest studios, according to CNN.

Striking actors are calling for higher wages and protection against artificial intelligence.

SAG-AFTRA – Screen Actors Guild Federation of Radio and Television Artists – announced at the end of July that studio negotiations had ended without a deal.

They called for higher wages to combat inflation, and changes in the way actors earn residuals — which are earned every time a show they starred in aired on network or cable.

The reason why they’re asking for changes in the residual amounts is because streamers like Disney Plus and Netflix don’t disclose ratings for their shows and offer the same flat rate for everything on their platform.

Another element is artificial intelligence – and studios using their digital likeness without their consent or appropriate compensation.

The union leadership voted for a work stoppage to begin at midnight after their demands were not met.

Under the rules of the strike, members of SAG-AFTRA are not allowed to promote anything, participate in any press to promote a project, or film a movie or TV series.

Fan Drescher, the current president of SAG-AFTRA, announced the strike in July.

‘We demand respect! You can’t exist without us!’ she said.

“If employers prioritize Wall Street and greed and they forget about the essential contributors that keep the machine running, we have a problem.”

“The jig is up, we demand respect,” said the Nanny actress.

In a statement following the announcement of the strike, the Association of Motion Pictures and Television Producers said it was disappointed by the breakdown of negotiations.

This is the choice of the Union, not ours. In doing so, it rejected our offerings of historic pay and residual increases, substantially higher pension and healthcare contribution ceilings, audition protections, shortened series option periods, a groundbreaking AI proposal that protects actors’ digital likenesses, and more. said in a statement.

It said it had agreed to “the highest percentage increase in minimums in 35 years, a ‘substantial increase’ in pension and healthcare contribution ceilings and an 11 percent increase in one year for background actors, stand-ins and photo doubles and another 17 percent. percentage increase for background actors who have to perform extensive self-styling.

But Drescher said the two sides remain “far apart” on “so many things,” citing excessive payouts to top executives as the studios “advocate poverty.”

Having both high-profile actors on the picket lines and writers will generate good PR for the strikers, which in turn will encourage the entertainment companies to come to the table, Paul Hardart, director of the Entertainment, Media and Technology Program at NYU’s Stern Business Administration explained. .

“I think the SAG strike will speed things up,” he said. “I think you’re going to see pressure from outside forces — whether it’s the governor of California or the president of the United States — is going to set this in motion,” he said. Business Insider.

But he admitted, “I could be totally wrong.”
