Actors’ Equity Association, the union representing stage theater actors and stage managers, expressed solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA actors strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, saying “Nobody should step in front of a camera fearing that today’s work will be mined, manipulated or repurposed in the future without consent or compensation.”<\/p>\n
The Broadway union had pointed language for the movie and TV producers who prioritize shareholders over workers: “Shame on them.”<\/p>\n
The SAG-AFTRA strike will not impact Broadway productions. SAG-AFTRA members who appear on Broadway operate under Equity contracts, with actors typically having dual memberships in the unions.<\/p>\n
Breaking News<\/span><\/p>\n Labor<\/span><\/p>\n Equity’s statement of support was made today by Equity President Kate Shindle immediately after SAG-AFTRA called for the strike. <\/p>\n The entire Equity statement is as follows:<\/p>\n Actors’ Equity Association stands in solidarity with SAG-AFTRA as they strike in pursuit of a fair TV\/ Theatrical\/Streaming contract from the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Performers deserve to share in the success of the work we do for these global, multi-billion-dollar companies. Nobody should step in front of a camera fearing that today’s work will be mined, manipulated or repurposed in the future without consent or compensation. And like all workers, SAG-AFTRA members deserve to have employers bargain in good faith toward a strong contract that will remain relevant in a rapidly evolving medium. The AMPTP’s behavior once again prioritizes shareholders over the workers who create their hugely profitable content, instead of simply making a deal to get everyone back to work. Shame on them.<\/p>\n Last month, Equity members joined WGA picket lines in New York City in solidarity with the writers union strike.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nSAG-AFTRA Strike Already Impacting Film Festivals As Ireland's Galway Fleadh Pulls Premiere Q&A With Matthew Modine; Actor Issues Rallying Cry: "Our Solidarity Is Our Strength"<\/h3>\n<\/article>\n
