It was never clear to me what actual jobs in the film industry are actually in this union. Who is affected, what are the current terms, what is the request from the union, what has been the response, how is streaming and ai affecting the industry…?
A more comprehensive article is needed before I would understand.
Too much to ask?
Regarding ai, sounds like what other workers have been facing for years. Non-brick-and-mortar retail, automated manufacturing and warehousing, automated and out-sourced customer service…. Maybe these actors can become programmers…
There are men and women who make everyday paychecks in Hollywood. But IMO the “stars”...as well as producers and directors...can starve for all I care.
I think FR has at least two in the industry.
