SAG-AFTRA, the union representing Hollywood actors, is set to strike and join writers on picket lines in back-to-back walkouts for the first time since 1960, widening the labor conflict that has already disrupted Hollywood.
The union representing Hollywood actors is poised to strike and join writers on picket lines in back-to-back walkouts for the first time since 1960, widening the labor conflict that has roiled the film and TV industry.
“SAG-AFTRA negotiated in good faith and was eager to reach a deal that sufficiently addressed performer needs, but the AMPTP’s responses to the union’s most important proposals have been insulting and disrespectful of our massive contributions to this industry,” said SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher in a statement. “The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics and on others completely stonewalled us.
The AMPTP made the request for assistance from a federal mediator after several top Hollywood executives, including Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav, held calls to discuss the labor standoff.
