NEW: Actors could join writers on strike July 1 and shut down Hollywood. Streaming has broken the industry. Successful actors are working second jobs. Some received $0 in residuals from Netflix shows with millions of viewers. So 98% of SAG-AFTRA voted to authorize a strike.

@matthewstoller @sagaftra the rich will be governed by the rest of us or the rest of us will be governed by the rich. there is no third option.

@sagaftra Well when Disney & Marvel showed they will resort to AI generated content, why would they stop there at art and video, next they would replace actors with AI, replace film hands and lighting with AI, they would send out a camera phone on a rc car if they could AI replace everyone

@sagaftra Let me guess. The 2% that voted against it were the famous actors that get millions per film?

@sagaftra #CalCare would take away the stress on @sagaftra actors to make minimum hours to qualify for health insurance. If a union doesn’t have to bargain for healthcare, they can bargain for higher compensation, residuals, etc. Which is why fighting for #CalCare should be a union fight.

@sagaftra

@sagaftra Our for-profit health system is bad for workers, bad for unions, & bad for our health! We're a group of Hollywood laborers organizing our industry to pass single-payer healthcare in California in 2024. Join us, because healthcare is a human right!

@sagaftra Nothing of value will be lost.

@sagaftra Hollywood needs to feel a pain that hasn’t been felt for decades

@sagaftra Is this the moment where American strategizes a nationwide general strike? Because I know a past President that would absolutely love for us to do so

@sagaftra World's smallest violin is playing in the background.
