00:00Another major Hollywood strike could be on the way, and if it goes ahead, almost all film and TV production will come to an immediate halt.
00:06Here's what's going on. SAG-AFTRA, or the Screen Actors Guild, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists,
00:13overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike if they cannot reach a new contract deal with Hollywood Studios by June 30th.
00:19Nearly 98% of ballots cast voted in favor of a strike authorization, and roughly
00:2347% of eligible voters took part in the vote. The Guild is focusing its negotiation efforts on restricting the use of artificial intelligence,
00:30higher streaming residuals, and limitations on self-taped auditions.
00:34This comes as the Writers Guild of America enters the sixth week of its strike, which has already caused a significant decrease in television production.
00:41SAG-AFTRA represents
00:43160,000 actors and performers, so if this strike happens, it's likely that any remaining production would be affected.
