Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood's major studios said the Screen Actors Guild on Thursday rebuffed the industry's "final" contract offer, a move the studios said " puts labor peace at risk. (article 6)
The contract at issue covers the work of 120,000 SAG members in prime-time television and movies, an industry still recovering from a 14-week screenwriters strike that ended in February. (article 6)
The industry group called again on SAG's leaders to submit the offer, a package the studios say is worth $250 million in additional compensation to actors over three years, to the union's rank-and-file for a ratification vote. (article 6)
AFTRA said 62 percent of voting members approved its prime-time TV contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, a deal that will go in effect retroactive to July 1. (article 5)
If the deadline passes before the union ratifies a contract, that means the actors could lose more than $200,000 a day in increases dating to July 1, the day the new contract would take effect. (article 2)
Members of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have ratified a new contract with Hollywood studios that boosts payments for actors whose work appears on the internet, the union said Tuesday. (article 7)
