It’s official: the SAG-AFTRA has been authorized to go on strike. As the largest union in Hollywood, SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) has been given the green light to call a strike if they find the upcoming labor negotiations to be unsatisfactory.
To be clear, the authorization does not denote a strike; it simply allows for the union’s negotiations to call a work stoppage after its TV and theatrical contracts expire. The expiration on said contracts is June 30, according to The Hollywood Reporter, so the next month will be crucial for both the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The union’s decision was nearly unanimous, as 98 percent of SAG-AFTRA members voted to authorize the strike.
