This is the best summary I could come up with:
Actors union SAG-AFTRA revealed specifics of a new labor deal with Hollywood studios Friday that they said included groundbreaking raises, benefit increases and protections around artificial intelligence.
He said the contract includes $1 billion in new wages and benefit plan funding and a participation bonus for actors on successful streaming shows.
There are also “successful minimum compensation increases that break the so-called industry pattern and help our members keep up with the harm that’s been caused by inflation,” Crabtree-Ireland said.
Studios will have to provide informed consent for the creation of any kind of digital replica of a performer or background actor, with a specific description of the intended use, the union officials said.
The writers strike ended on September 27, making the time period between the tentative deal and ratification roughly two weeks.
Some writers were concerned about the growth of streaming, because they lost out on residuals that traditional television shows paid when they were re-run.
