All the details of the SAG-AFTRA strike from why it's happening to the rules around what actors can and can't do now, to which stars are on the picket line.
On Thursday, the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists , the union that represents all performers on film and television, announced its national board voted unanimously to launch the guild's first strike.
She continued: "The entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, AI. This is a moment of history that is a moment of truth. If we don't stand tall right now, we are going to be in trouble. We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines and big business, who cares more about Wall Street than you and your family."
On the press/promo side of things, most activities are off limits as well. Actors may not participate in promotion for work made under the contracts, including press tours, personal appearances, interviews, conventions, fan expos, film and television festivals, FYC events, panels, premieres/screenings, award shows, junkets, podcast appearances, social media, and studio showcases.
Actors in the U.K. are subject to the laws of the United Kingdom, thus eliminating any protections actors might have if they participate in a strike. "We have been advised by SAG-AFTRA that its strike is lawful according to United States law but we have been advised by our UK lawyers that it is not lawful under United Kingdom law," Equity explains.
