US-ENTERTAINMENT-FILM-TELEVISION-STRIKE

SAG-AFTRA President US actress Fran Drescher, SAG-AFTRA secretary-treasurer US actress Joely Fisher, and National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, joined by SAG-AFTRA members, hold a press conference at the labor union's headquarters in Los Angeles, California, on July 13, 2023. Tens of thousands of Hollywood actors will go on strike at midnight Thursday, effectively bringing the giant movie and television business to a halt as they join writers in the first industry-wide walkout for 63 years. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) issued a strike order after last-ditch talks with studios on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence ended without a deal.
