Scarlett Johansson is shining a white-hot spotlight on the &nbsp;improper shifts in compensation that companies are attempting to slip by talent as distribution models change. Nobody in any field of work should fall victim to surprise reductions in expected compensation. It is unreasonable and unjust. Disney and other content companies are doing very well and can certainly live up to their obligations to compensate the performers whose art and artistry are responsible for the corporation&#8217;s profits.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAdditionally, we are deeply concerned by the gendered tone of Disney\u2019s criticism of Ms. Johansson.

Women have been victimized by pay inequity for decades, and they have been further victimized by comments like those in Disney\u2019s press statements. These sorts of attacks have no place in our society and SAG-AFTRA will continue to defend our members from all forms of bias.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris released the following statement on Scarlett Johansson\u2019s lawsuit alleging that Disney violated her contract for her role in&nbsp;Black Widow. \u201cDisney should be ashamed of themselves for resorting to tired tactics of gender-shaming and bullying,\u201d said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris. \u201cActors must be compensated for their work according to their contracts.
