Workers picket at Warner Bros Studios against what they say is unwillingness from firms to protect union members

Standing before the crowd, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, national executive director of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (Sag-Aftra), said that AI has become the most challenging issue in many of the union’s negotiations.
