The leaders of the union, SAG-AFTRA, approved a strike on Thursday, hours after contract talks with a group of studios broke down. Actors will be on the picket line starting on Friday. “What’s happening to us is happening across all fields of labor,” said Fran Drescher, SAG-AFTRA’s president. “When employers make Wall Street and greed their priority and they forget about the essential contributors who make the machine run, we have a problem.” The previous three-year contract expired at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, after an extension from June 30 to allow for continued talks. But the two sides are divided on a range of issues, including pay and the use of artificial intelligence. The actors’ walkout would provide additional support to the striking writers, who have been walking picket lines for more than 70 days. Their union, the Writers Guild of America, has yet to return to bargaining with the studios. Follow our live coverage at the link in our bio.」7月14日 4時35分
