LOS ANGELES — SAG-AFTRA, Hollywood’s biggest union, has agreed to extend negotiations with the studios to allow more time for the two sides to hash out an agreement that could avert Hollywood’s second strike.
Hollywood writers have been on strike since May 2 and many have predicted actors would join them on the picket lines.
SAG-AFTRA members have already voted overwhelmingly in favor of allowing their leaders to call a walkout as early as Saturday if no deal was reached. The three-year film and TV current contract expires at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on June 30.
