Canadian film, TV workers feel sting of twin Hollywood strikes
Canadian film and television workers are feeling the sting of twin strikes by Hollywood writers and actors.
Toronto agent Karin Martin says many of her clients haven’t worked since winter because U.S. studios anticipated job action and scaled back orders. The Writers Guild of America walked off the job May 2 and the performers union SAG-AFTRA began its strike last Friday. In Vancouver, Baskerville says he let one of his part-timers go because he couldn’t afford to pay them. He’s reduced two other part-timers to one day a week, and two full-time workers are down to four days a week instead of five. One of them is on a six-hour day instead of eight.
