 Batman vs Cap America
Only on START
Hollywood is a "Union Town," and rarely has that ever been more apparent than right now. Following a damaging writers' strike and work stoppage that derailed the television season, scrapped an entire development cycle and cost thousands of people millions of dollars - the actors are now stepping up to the plate for their own negotiations. This new round of talks once again includes the negotiating body for the studios: the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The new entities involved include the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). AFTRA and SAG recently parted ways to negotiate separately with the AMPTP.

We're collecting all of our strike-related stories here, because the past strike informs the current one, right down to the particulars of the deals that each side is trying to make. If the actors do go on strike, it will be another blow to an industry just now regaining its footing from the last shutdown. Its effects will also be much more immediate, because you can stockpile a few scripts - but if actors don't show up for work, there's nothing to shoot.
