The SAG strike is a work stoppage by the American actors union SAG-AFTRA over an ongoing labor dispute with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. The strike began on July 14, 2023, after weeks of failed negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP. The union members are fighting for better pay and working conditions as they face a labor landscape transformed by streaming and threatened by artificial intelligence. The strike will disrupt the film and television industry, shutting down the production of countless movies and TV shows in the U.S. and some abroad. During the strike, union members are barred from performing in works and publicizing projects, which means no red carpets, no premieres, and no promotional appearances. The strike will continue until a deal is reached between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP.
