Actors strike looms as midnight deadline approaches, union slams producers' tactics

Publishing timestamp: 2023-07-12 16:43:31


Summary

The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have until midnight to reach a new contract deal. If talks fail, 160,000 actors will join the already-striking writers on picket lines. SAG-AFTRA has agreed to meet with federal mediators but remains ready to walk off sets if negotiations fall through. The union has already granted one contract extension and disputes reports that AMPTP requested mediation. Damning reports have also surfaced about tactics studio producers allegedly plan to use against the striking Writers Guild of America.
