Sarah Silverman Controversy: What Happened To Her On Sag Aftra?

To illustrate, Silverman has altered her stance on SAG-AFTRA’s method of permitting specific independent productions to continue filming amidst the strike. This change in perspective came about after she met with Fran Drescher, the actors guild president, and other individuals who were critical of the waiver policy.
In a video, Sarah shared her experience of meeting with Fran Drescher, the president of SAG-AFTRA, and Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, the national executive director. According to Sarah, productions seeking a waiver must agree to all the terms proposed by the guild before a strike can be avoided.

Although AMPTP-member studios have the option to acquire these productions after completion, they too must accept the guild’s proposed contract if the strike is resolved. One of the key demands from SAG-AFTRA is an 11% minimum rate increase in the first year of the next contract, which is significantly higher than the 5% offered by AMPTP.
This discrepancy in wage demands is due to the inflation surge that has negatively impacted the real wages of guild members. Sarah’s video post expressing her opinion on SAG-AFTRA, as reported by Tom Wait, has sparked controversy and a heated debate.
