Telemundo and SAG-AFTRA clash over pay for actors

Telemundo is coming off of a big summer. The network has been steadily closing the ratings gap with Univision, long the Spanish-language heavyweight in broadcast television. But just as Miami-based Telemundo is riding high, it is facing mounting questions from Hollywood's largest union over the treatment of its talent. SAG-AFTRA has been locked in a protracted dispute with the network over its efforts to unionize Spanish-language performers on Telemundo productions, mainly telenovelas. The union has accused the network's corporate owner, NBCUniversal, of embracing a "double standard" when it comes to Spanish-language and English-language performers.
