SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher defended her habit of bringing a ‘tiny heart shaped plush toy’ to strike negotiations
SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher stands by her habit of bringing a heart-shaped plush doll to strike negotiations.
Drescher was elected president of the labor union in September 2021 and was reelected for a second term this fall. She has been at the forefront of the ongoing actors’ strike that began in July over a labor dispute with the AMPTP. The AMPTP cited the proposal for actors to receive a two percent cut of streaming platform revenue as the biggest divide between the organizations, alleging that it would cost more than $800 million per year.
