This marks the first time that both actors and writers have been on strike since 1960.
SAG-AFTRA, the union representing screen actors, will go on strike starting Thursday at midnight, union leaders announced, a seismic event for the entertainment industry that will shut down any remaining film and television production still going on amid the ongoing writers’ strike, marking Hollywood’s most widespread work stoppage in more than 60 years....
Crabtree-Ireland called a strike an “instrument of last resort,” arguing that the studios “left us with no alternative” following weeks of negotiations that did not resolve core issues about streaming pay and artificial intelligence, while union president and actress Fran Drescher said, “We are being victimized by a very greedy entity.”
The AMPTP called a strike “certainly not the outcome we hoped for,” and said the union had “regrettably chosen a path that will lead to financial hardship for countless thousands of people who depend on the industry”—the group previously defended its offer to SAG-AFTRA and called the lack of a deal “the union’s choice, not ours.”
The strike is expected to shut down all film and television production that uses SAG-AFTRA members, even if outside the U.S., and will also bar actors from doing any promotional work like attending red carpets or doing press for productions they’re involved with.
