SAG-AFTRA Is on Strike
SAG-AFTRA, one of the largest unions representing film and television actors, declared a strike. This move follows the latest failure of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), a trade association that represents on behalf of hundreds of film and television production companies and their respective management groups, to come to a unified agreement with actors. The SAG-AFTRA strike joins the members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA), which has been striking since May this year. The two forces joined together makes for one of the largest Hollywood strikes since the 1960s.
