As expected, SAG-AFTRA, the largest actor’s union in Hollywood, voted Thursday to join the Writers Guild of America on the picket lines in a strike against film and TV production studios after talks to extend their contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) beyond the June 30 deadline broke down earlier this week.
In a press conference on Thursday, union president Fran Drescher excoriated the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), telling them to “wake up and smell the coffee.”
