Hollywood actors poised to join writers on strike after talks collapse
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The union representing film and television actors says no deal has been reached with studios and streaming services and its leadership will vote on whether to strike on Thursday.
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said early Thursday that its decision on whether to join already striking screenwriters will be considered by leadership at a meeting later that day. A press conference announcing the decision is scheduled for noon Pacific.
If the actors do go on strike, it will be the first time since 1960 that actors and writers picket film and television productions.
The actors’ guild released a statement announcing that its deadline for negotiations had ended without a contract. The statement came hours after this year’s Emmy nominations, recognizing the best work on television, were announced.
