SAG president expects strike

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) has until June 30 to make a deal with the studios, but president Alan Rosenberg isn’t expecting much. The feud between the SAG and the AFTRA (Radio and TV) only made things worse. “Our progress has really slowed down ever since AFTRA made its deal,” Rosenberg said.

But before the union can strike, it has to get 75% of its members to approve, which would take a couple of weeks. “We have not decided to go ahead on a strike authorization, but if we do, we’ll have to fairly soon,” he said.

Is anyone expecting a deal at this point? Because of the approval, we should know about the strike within a week, maybe a couple of days.

But will 75% agree to another strike after the devastating effect of the last one?
