SAG-AFTRA Backs WGA, State AG Opposition to Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery Merger

SAG-AFTRA and WGA are opposing a potential merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery. The guild demands enforceable safeguards to prevent reduced studio production and guarantees for increased productions within the USA. Simultaneously, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has sold company stock valued at nearly $60 million. This financial move occurs as the Paramount Skydance merger faces ongoing delays, adding complexity to the current landscape of major studio consolidations and industry labor demands.
