After two weeks of negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) failed to reach an agreement, SAG-AFTRA has voted to go on strike. The union's chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, said the strike will begin at midnight and affect 65,000 actors, potentially crippling film and TV productions across the U.S. and impacting the entertainment industry.

Negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) have broken down, leading to the possibility of a strike by thousands of actors represented by SAG-AFTRA. The union is demanding better pay, improved safety protocols, and more transparency from the studios, as well as residual payments for streaming services. The AMPTP has not yet commented on the situation, but the two sides are likely to continue to negotiate in the coming days.
