The national board of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or SAG-AFTRA, "unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," the guild announced at a news conference Thursday afternoon. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher stressed that what's happening in the entertainment industry is happening across labor, calling it the result of "when employers make Wall Street and greed their priority and they forget about the essential contributors that make the machine run." She added that she was "shocked by the way that the people we have been in business with are treating us" and that the studios and streamers can't "change the business model as much as it has changed and not expect the contract to change, too." Drescher is right: It's not just actors who are affected by the shift in the entertainment industry. The 160,000 performers in SAG-AFTRA will be joining the members of the Writers Guild of America on the picket lines in one of the largest labor actions the country has seen in years.   This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest article.
