Representatives for the striking SAG-AFTRA actors union and the major studios are set to meet for a fifth time Wednesday as they look to resolve a labor standoff that's nearing its third month.
The sides last met on Monday. Wednesday's meeting will continue an alternate-day pattern of face-to-face talks that began when negotiating teams finally sat down with each other for the first time last week.Bargaining sessions also took place last Monday, Wednesday and Friday -- the sides' first talks since SAG-AFTRA walked off the job in mid-July.
