Orange Is the New Black<\/em>, the trailblazing prison drama-comedy that helped put Netflix on the map, is now 10 years old. As the show celebrates its anniversary, several of its supporting stars are speaking out about their unfair compensation. They allege that they were paid significantly less than they should have been, and that they weren’t even given raises as the show’s popularity grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their concerns are echoed by the broader union movement. Just days after the OITNB<\/em> stars’ interview was published, SAG-AFTRA announced that it would be going on strike after failing to reach a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The strike is a major escalation in the tense negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP, and it reflects the growing frustration of actors who feel that they are not being fairly compensated for their work.<\/p>\n\n\n
