Speaking in front of the Netflix offices near Union Square, the SAG-AFTRA president urged actors to keep up their morale: 'We are not going to back down.'
“We have to keep up our resolve. We are not going to back down. We are not going to be stepped on any more for CEO greed and Wall Street greed at our expense when they can’t do it without us,” Drescher said.
“We are the foundation of the wheel. Nobody can own our likeness,” she continued, referencing AI. “And our minimums have to meet with inflation. None of this other B.S. And we must get a piece of the platform that we are building for them.” Before her speech, Drescher walked the picket line and greeted many enthusiastic SAG-AFTRA members who thanked her for her leadership. Her trademark humor was on display, as she was introduced by Ezra Knight, the New York Local president for SAG-AFTRA, who called her “very powerful” and “very queenly regal.” Before stopping outside Netflix, Drescher also visited the picket lines in Times Square, outside Paramount’s office, and outside the Amazon and HBO Offices in Hudson Yards.
