Strike negotiations suspended between Hollywood actors, studios

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12 (Xinhua) -- Negotiations between Hollywood studios and the U.S. entertainment industry's largest union representing 160,000 actors and performers were suspended Wednesday night after the two sides failed to reach a deal.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) -- the entity that represents major studios and streamers, including Amazon, Apple, Disney, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, and Warner Bros Discovery -- said in a statement Wednesday night that the talks had been called off after the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) presented its most recent proposal on Wednesday.
