Emmys and much more will likely be up in the air.
Hollywood has become a disaster movie. SAG-AFTRA, the guild that represents more than 160,000 performers, is on the verge of striking against the film and television studios for the first time in 43 years.
The National Board will vote Thursday morning to endorse the strike. AMPTP issued a statement declaring, “We are deeply disappointed that SAG-AFTRA has decided to walk away from negotiations. This is the Union’s choice, not ours.
“I just want everybody to understand that this isn't about making more millions of dollars,” Sheryl Lee Ralph, a member of the SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee, toldwas announced. “Quiet as it's kept, at least 80% of our union are plain, old, ordinary, hardworking people who haven't gotten a cost of living raise in 40 years, who are depending upon the kindness of big corporations. You need people who can crunch numbers, but when it starts to crunch people, that's not good.
