SAG Will Vote on Strike

The cloud of labor unrest hanging over Hollywood and the upcoming awards season has grown considerably darker.

Although no date has been set, SAG leadership has begun preparations for a strike-authorization vote after two days of meetings with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers failed to break the 5-month-old deadlock on a new TV/theatrical contract.

The talks, brokered by federal mediator Juan Carlos Gonzalez, ended shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday.

“We will now launch a full-scale education campaign in support of a strike-authorization referendum,” SAG said.
