    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    As of Thursday morning, actors are free to work again now that their union — SAG-AFTRA — has a tentative deal in hand.

    It still needs to be ratified, but it includes pay bumps, protections against artificial intelligence and streaming bonuses.

    In a statement, the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers called the tentative agreement “a new paradigm” and said it “looks forward to the industry resuming the work of telling great stories.”

    SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher spoke to All Things Considered host Ailsa Chang on Thursday about the deal.

    And once we really got to a place where not only did they really fully grasp the idea that this is a new dawn, that this is new leadership, that this is a historic time and this calls for a seminal negotiation — then whatever it was that we were talking about, whatever it was we felt that we needed, they decided to put their thinking caps on and group together to come up with their own solution version.

    Like, Bloomberg found that fewer than 5% of original programs on Netflix last year would be considered popular enough to result in performance bonuses.
