Hollywood's actors union voted to authorize a strike if contract talks break down, turning up the heat on major film and television studios already grappling with a work stoppage by writers
SAG-AFTRA, which represents 160,000 actors, said 97.91% of the votes that were cast supported a strike authorization. Talks between the actors union and major studios are scheduled to start on Wednesday.. That pact will take effect if DGA members vote to ratify it.. Their current deal expires June 30.
"We have fully entered a digital and streaming entertainment industry, and that demands a contract that is relevant to the new business model," the letter said.
