Strike 2? Hollywood braces for actor walkout
By Behind The Scenes TV on Jun 30, 2008 in Actors, Film Business, Hollywood
Hollywood loves a good sequel, but here’s one it could do without: Another union strike just months after the town got up and running again from a devastating walkout by writers.
The contract between the Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expires Monday, and negotiations have dragged on for weeks with no apparent headway.
SAG leaders have said they are willing to continue talking beyond the contract deadline. Yet their hard-line rhetoric and a squabble with another actors union could put performers on the sidelines, taking electricians, set-builders, caterers and other Hollywood working stiffs along with them.
