Negotiators for Hollywood actors’ union have unanimously recommended a strike after labour talks with studios failed to yield an agreement, setting the stage for performers to join film and television writers on picket lines as early as Thursday.
The Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) union, which represents 160,000 members, said its national board would vote on a strike order on Thursday morning. If approved, Hollywood studios would face their first dual work stoppage in 63 years and be forced to shut down production across the United States.
Both SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are demanding increases in base pay and residuals in the streaming TV era plus assurances that their work will not be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI).
