In other news, 70,000 musicians across the U.S. and Canada are prepared to go on strike. The American Federation of Musicians, which represents members who make music for film, TV, commercials, and other platforms, says it will begin negotiating a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers on January 22.
Regarding the potential strike, the president of the A.F.M. said, quote “Our musicians have been facing pay cuts over the last year because of the change of the business model and how our product is distributed.” In the new contract, the union is seeking A.I protections, better health benefits, higher wages, better working conditions, and residual payments for streaming content.
The A.M.P.T.P. responded to the request for a new deal by saying it “looks forward to productive negotiations with the federation, with the goal of concluding an agreement that will ensure an active year ahead for the industry and recognize the value that musicians add to motion pictures and television.”
2023 saw workers from a variety of industries go on strike as employees sought better contracts. Healthcare, carmakers, airlines, and Hollywood all saw thousands of workers hit the picket lines last year.
That’ll do it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.
