Actors Strike Around The Corner?

Many people were relieved when the WGA Strike was finally over, which according to one report cost the LA Economy $380 million. The SAG contract expires June 30th, but the first action will likely take place on July 8th as the AFTRA ballots will be taking place. This will determine just how much influence the  SAG leaders can hold for securing better terms.

Over the weekend, SAG ramped up its anti-AFTRA campaign with automated phone calls from former SAG president Ed Asner asking for a no vote from the 44,000 SAG members, if this occurs it will almost certainly be the first step towards a Screen Actors Guild strike.
