The actors’ strike will last a long time
Without a doubt, this is a great initiative to support those who were truly affected by the actors and writers strike. In fact, in various speeches by union members, it was clear that they were committed to improving the working conditions of all people who work in production.
However, until the Union of Actors and the Alliance of Film and Television Producers come to an agreement, more auctions will have to be held. Or find another way to raise money for those who have been without income for months due to lack of work.
Sad, Film companies don’t seem to care about actors’ strikes. They have not shown any willingness to reach an agreement because they believe that the union’s demands, mainly regarding higher wages, are disproportionate.
