Update: SAG Strike Vote Still Up in the Air

0

The Screen Actors Guild Thursday evening refuted wire service reports that it has suspended plans for a strike authorization vote.

National Executive Director Doug Allen has proposed that the planned vote be suspended and management’s offer be put to the membership, but his proposal has not yet been approved by the board.

“The Screen Actors Guild has taken no action to suspend the national board of directors’ October 19 resolution regarding the strike authorization referendum,” the guild said in a statement.

Allen’s proposal includes seeking another meeting with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers to determine to what extent, if any, they are willing to improve their last offer, in order to maximize the chances for that its members would ratify the apreement.

SAG’s national board has not yet acted on Allen’s proposal.

Members of Hollywood’s most powerful actors union have been working without a contract since June 30, when their previous three-year deal with the studio-representing Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expired.
