The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers is now asking federal mediators to step into its negotiations with SAG-AFTRA, hoping to head off a possible strike later this week.
The actors union is slated to see its contract with the studios expire at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, possibly triggering a strike on Thursday.
This comes after members of the Writers Guild of America have been striking for more than two months with no signs of progress. "The last time we saw two major unions on strike, both SAG and WGA, was in 1960, so that's a lifetime ago," said Michael Schneider, the TV Editor for Variety. "We may be looking at a dual strike throughout the rest of the summer into September, and that is when you may see the real urgency to sit down and really hammer out new deals."
But as the writers' strike drags on and the actors inch closer to one, businesses surrounding the studios continue to brace for even more tough times."We have almost no business right now," said owner Andrew Kopulsky. "We just have to weather the storm. "It's like sitting in a cave, waiting for it to end."
