SAG-AFTRA Video Shows Its Members Are Picking Up And Mobilizing Nationwide – Deadline

SAG-AFTRA members picketing in Los Angeles and New York garnered most of the media’s attention during the union’s ongoing strike, but members have been rallying and walking in picket lines across the country.

Syndicate’s latest video (Watch it here) shows the members rallying and striking for a fair contract in 24 of the 25 locals for the union – only Houston Austin is missing.

In addition to Los Angeles and New York, they show their solidarity in Atlanta, Chicago, New Mexico, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Hawaii, Michigan, Nevada, New England, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco – Northern California, Minneapolis – St. . Paul, Seattle, Miami, Ohio-Pittsburgh, Arizona-Utah, Nashville, Washington/Mid-Atlantic, Colorado, Missouri Valley and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Today’s featured parties are taking place this morning at Amazon Studios in Culver City and Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. At Amazon, SAG-AFTRA Collectors and Writers Guild will be joined by Producers Guild of America Presidents Stephanie Allen and Donald D. Line.

At Warner Bros., Duncan Crabtree-Ireland will join the takers, SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director, Chief Negotiator and Member of the WGA Board of Directors Marjorie David. Producers union members will also join the strike there at 10 a.m.

The Producers Union, not to be confused with the Motion Picture and Television Producers Alliance, noted early in the strike that it “stands with SAG-AFTRA as its members make the difficult decision to strike against the studios, corporations and broadcasters that make up the AMPTP”.
