When the screenwriters’ strike came to an end in the United States, the Hollywood film industry was able to take a breather, since stories would continue to be created for the large number of productions we currently have, and with this conclusion, it was believed that the strike with actors would also be resolved, unfortunately it has not been so.
The screenwriters’ strike came to an end, but it seems that the actors’ strike has only gotten worse, causing major productions to fall behind schedule and no realistic view of what will happen to the actors’ demands.
As of October 9, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) had been involved in talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), but unfortunately no agreement was reached.
Actors’ strikes in Hollywood continue and productions remain behind schedule
The Hollywood actors’ union has declared its suspension from talks with their employer, which they accuse of “abusive tactics” in their talks.
“After profitable talks, it is clear that the gap between Amptp and SAG-AFTRA is too great, and the talks are no longer taking us in a profitable direction,” they have stated. On their social media, the message was harsher: “It is with deep disappointment that we announce that the industry CEOs have walked away from the negotiating table, after refusing to confront our latest offer. We have negotiated with them in good faith, despite the fact that last week they presented an offer that, surprisingly, was less than what was proposed before the strike began. Our resolve is unwavering.”
With the news that an agreement could not be reached, it is more than clear that the stories will continue to be created, but there are no actors to carry them out.
