Acting : SAG-AFTRA Contract Talks Fail To Reach Deal; National Board Meeting Thursday Morning To Launch Strike; Sides Issue Statements by Richard "RB" Botto
Contract negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the Hollywood studios have broken off, and the guild's national board will meet soon to approve a strike launch.
Very interesting. First time since 1960 that the WGA and SAG have struck at the same time. Hopefully a united front along with the other unions (IATSE) standing in solidarity create an environment to make a meaningful deal for the creative community.
I'm feeling quite hopeful that this united front will bring about good things for both actors and writers. I was disappointed with the DGA's settlement, but then history was shouting at us, that this would be the case.
