\n“This is a phenomenal deal,” WGA negotiating committee member Eric Haywood told CBS Mornings<\/em>. “The majority of the membership is over the moon. This deal, I mean financially, works out to about three times as much as our last contract.” <\/p>\n \nIf you’re hearing about the end of the WGA strike and thinking that it might indicate the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike, you might be getting ahead of yourself. As previously iterated, the WGA and the SAG-AFTRA are two different unions, with different members, different demands and different negotiating committees altogether. In other words, one strike ending does not mean another. <\/p>\n \nIn fact, according to the SAG-AFTRA latest update on X (formerly known as Twitter), negotiations haven’t even been happening recently. “At this time, we have no confirmed dates scheduled to meet with the AMPTP,” the union shared on social media. “When we do have dates confirmed, we will inform you. Unless you hear it from us, it’s hearsay.”<\/p>\n \nTherefore, with no meeting with the AMPTP in sight, it’s safe to say the actors have a long road ahead of them. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Related story <\/p>\n Drew Carey Was the Unsung Hero of the Writers' Strike Without Asking for Any Recognition<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n \nWith that said, if we’re merely speaking in terms of inspiration, the WGA reaching an agreement could definitely mean there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for the actors. <\/p>\n \n“To our fellow union siblings who serve on the WGA Negotiating Committee, we extend our heartfelt congratulations on securing a tentative agreement with the AMPTP,” the SAG-AFTRA tweeted after they announced their decision. “We look forward to reviewing the terms of the WGA and AMPTP’s tentative agreement. And we remain ready to resume our own negotiations with the AMPTP as soon as they are prepared to engage on our proposals in a meaningful way.”<\/p>\n \nAccording to Haywood, the WGA’s deal could even inspire studios to want to reach an agreement with the actors as well. “I hope that this inspires the studios to really respond, to really hear, what SAG is asking for,” he said. Fingers crossed!<\/p>\nSo What Does the End of the WGA Strike Mean for the SAG-AFTRA? <\/h3>\n
