With a possible WGA deal on the horizon, writers say they’ll continue to support striking actors.
Susanna Dooley Boney, an IATSE art department coordinator and propmaker, heard the news from a WGA member at a cafe in Elysian Valley. Boney said the woman, who was sitting at a nearby table, jumped up and down and showed off the email from the negotiating committee.
“I know it sounds silly, but I’ll also miss picketing,” Boney said. “The picket lines were actually quite fun, positive and electrifying. Everyone was there. Old bosses, friends, people I hadn’t seen in a decade.” SAG-AFTRA members have until 5 p.m. Monday to vote on whether to authorize a video game strike. With the authorization, the union could expand the strike to work included under the Interactive Media Agreement, which is a separate contract. A yes vote from members doesn’t ensure a strike, but allows“a member-approved strike authorization in hand when bargaining resumes on Sept. 26,” SAG-AFTRA said.
