'What are we doing? Moving around furniture on the Titanic?' said Fran Drescher. 'The jig is up, AMPTP. We stand tall. You have to wake up and smell the coffee.' Read the SAG-AFTRA president's impassioned speech in its entirety:
SAG-AFTRA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers couldn’t reach a deal. Hollywood actors have joined writers on strike amid a historic labor battle.“AMPTP member companies entered the negotiations with SAG-AFTRA with the goal of forging a new, mutually beneficial contract,” the statement reads.
We have a problem and we are experiencing that right at this moment. This is a very seminal hour for us. I went in in earnest thinking that we would be able to avert a strike. The gravity of this move is not lost on meor our board members who have voted unanimously to proceed with a strike. It’s a very serious thing that impacts thousandsof people all across this country and around the world.
Our union and our sister unions and the unions around the world are standing by us, as well as other labor unions, because at some point the jig is up. You cannot keep being dwindled and marginalized and disrespected and dishonored. The entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, AI. This is a moment of history that is a moment of truth. If we don’t stand tall right now, we are all going to be in trouble. We are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines.
