Actors Strike Possible? Now There's A Happy Thought
No, no, a thousand times no. But yes. The producers' group, the AMPTP, called a halt to negotiations with the Screen Actors Guild yesterday, saying their demands are unreasonable. Meanwhile, negotiations between the AMPTP and the other actors union, AFTRA, are about to begin. And the actors' contracts run out at the end of June. Be afraid, be very afraid. Nikki Finke, who was the go-to news source on the writers strike, says this is very bad news. And I can't help but agree. I hope, though, that cooler heads will prevail, as another strike this soon could be the end of TV as we know it. And that would be a bad thing, right? Right?
