The actual strike/no strike announcement will take place at noon PST Thursday.
SAG-AFTRA announced that their deal with the AMPTP has expired, and no new deal has been put in place. “In the face of the AMPTP’s intransigence and delay tactics, SAG-AFTRA’s negotiating committee voted unanimously to recommend to the National Board a strike,” the union said. The board will vote Thursday morning on whether or not to strike, and announce the results of that vote at noon PST Thursday, July 13.
“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,” SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher said. “Until they do negotiate in good faith, we cannot begin to reach a deal.
