After months of seeing its talks with the AMPTP go nowhere, SAG’s negotiating committee Wednesday urged its national board to take a strike authorization vote of its membership.
The national board, newly constituted in the wake of recent elections, will meet Oct. 18.
“A strike authorization vote of the membership is necessary to overcome the employers’ intransigence,” the resolution said. It also called for the national board to adopt a campaign advocating a “yes” vote, giving the bargaining team the authority to call a strike when the board “deems it necessary and unavoidable to do so.”
A “yes” vote would be required by 75 percent of the membership to authorize a strike.
