SAG Strike: Hollywood A-Listers Walk Off the Job in Support
After a span of 43 years, the SAG-AFTRA union has made the decision to initiate a strike, aligning themselves with the Writers Guild of America in a widespread industry walkout, and it's had immediate consequences.
In a statement, Fran Drescher, the president of the guild, expressed, "SAG-AFTRA negotiated in good faith and was eager to reach a deal that sufficiently addressed performer needs, but the AMPTP's responses to the union's most important proposals have been insulting and disrespectful of our massive contributions to this industry. The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics and on others completely stonewalled us.
Nathan Lane: "I’ll bring croissants and coffee, we’ll make a day of it. No, it’s obviously, just as it is for the writers, it’s an important thing, important issues to be dealt with, AI, all those issues. And compensation, with the streamers, I honestly don’t understand all of it but I realize how important it is for everyone trying to make a living. So yes, I’m in full support. But I hope that maybe there might be a miracle.
