Hollywood goes on strike just in time for the Emmys
For the first time since 1960, Hollywood is facing a double strike.
Note: Since this conversation took place, SAG-AFTRA has confirmed its actors strike.
SAG-AFTRA, the union representing more than 160,000 film and television actors, could go on strike as early as Thursday. The actors union would be joining 11,000 members of the Writers Guild of America who have been on the picket lines since May. The double strike would effectively shut down Hollywood, but reports show studio executives are in it for the long haul with plans to “bleed out” picketers.
