LOS ANGELES : The board of Hollywood's actors union asked members on Thursday to give negotiators the power to call a strike, a move that would add new pressure to major studios already facing a writers' strike.

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said it offered"generous" increases in compensation."Earning a living as a professional performer has become increasingly difficult, with both inflation and the streaming ecosystem undercutting compensation," SAG-AFTRA said in a statement on its website.
