SAG-AFTRA is too great, and conversations are
no longer moving us in a productive direction, AMPTP, via statement.

AMPTP of using "bully tactics.".
It is with profound disappointment
that we report the industry CEOs
have walked away from the
bargaining table after refusing
to counter our latest offer, SAG-AFTRA, via statement.
The companies are using the same failed
strategy they tried to inflict on the WGA
— putting out misleading information in
an attempt to fool our members into
abandoning our solidarity and putting
pressure on our negotiators. , SAG-AFTRA, via statement.
But, just like the writers,
our members are smarter than
that and will not be fooled, SAG-AFTRA, via statement.
The halted negotiations come as a major blow
to Hollywood actors hoping to get back to work
after the WGA was successful with its talks. .
