WhyWeStrike Lisa Ann Walter on Supporting the SAG-AFTRA Strike After Seeing Contracts ‘Devolving’ Throughout Her Career via sheknows
, which has been ongoing since July 13. “Well, first of all, full disclosure, I’m quite involved in union activity,” she tells SheKnows. “I’ve been a board member, local and national board member for eight years.”
“The reason that I got involved as many years ago as I did was because I saw the way our contracts were devolving,” she continues. “Actors that you see on TV, just because you’ve seen them on TV or in a movie, it doesn’t mean they’re rich. It doesn’t even mean they’re middle class, it could mean that they barely made enough money to pay their rent for six months after you pay your reps and you pay taxes.
“People would be stunned,” she says, adding that, on average, “streaming is 25% of what we used to earn on a regular TV show.” “And that’s happened with each new technology,” she adds. “When VHS went to DVD, they cut the formula saying, ‘Well, we don’t know if anybody’s gonna buy these things.’ But of course, they know,” she says. “They know because they’ve already planned that everything is gonna go into DVD, and then Blu-ray, and now cable, and then streaming.”
“And with each new technology, they ask the performing side, and writers as well, to take a cut because ‘We don’t know if this thing’s gonna work’ but they know,” she continues. “They know and they throw tons of money into it and they are counting on people now with streaming to support it via subscriptions but they didn’t factor in as part of their cost model actually paying the people who make the content.
