Strike update: still on hold
Still no settlement in the contract flap between actors and producers.
The current contract expired at midnight last night as producers served up what a spokesman for the group called their “last, best, final offer.”
No response from the Screen Actors Guild.
The New York Times today describes the industry as “eerily quiet.”
No settlement but no overt plans for a strike … maybe covert operations are underway, but nobody is making hair-curling walk-out threats at this point.
So we wait and dread. Will we face a fall full of reality TV? Will we be forced to learn a foreign language, talk to our neighbors or (heaven forbid) read a book come September? The possibilities are terrifying.
Stay tuned.
