Get ready for some major action in the film and television industry! SAG-AFTRA, the actors union, is about to launch their first strike since 1980. And guess what? We’ve got the inside scoop for you!
Join us for a live press conference with SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher and National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. They’ll spill all the details about this groundbreaking decision, straight from Sherman Oaks. You won’t want to miss it!
During the conference, Fran and Duncan are expected to announce the results of the national board’s vote, which just happened this morning. This could very well kick off the official actors strike. Exciting stuff, right?
But wait, there’s more! Talks between the actors and the studios, represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, broke off last night. And guess what? No deal was reached, even after midnight. Looks like tensions are running high.
Oh, and did we mention that actors will officially join the picket lines on Friday? This strike has been a long time coming, and there’s been a lot of support from SAG-AFTRA for the writers strike, which has been going on for a whopping 73 days. It’s a historic moment, as the actors and writers haven’t gone on strike at the same time since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was president of the Screen Actors Guild.
So mark your calendars and get ready for some serious action in the entertainment industry. This is a moment you won’t want to miss!
