Hollywood Strikes: Actors Seek Advice and Share Earnings Amid Contract Negotiations
The SAG-AFTRA strike has caused Hollywood productions to shut down worldwide, including in the U.K. where it is a major hub for studio productions. While some productions can continue shooting under different contracts, Equity has advised its members on how to approach the strike. Actors working in the U.K. on Equity contracts for U.S. producers are advised to continue working, as the strike is not lawful under U.K. law. However, they may have no legal protection against dismissal or breach of contract. SAG-AFTRA members working in the U.K. on Equity contracts are also advised to continue working, as SAG-AFTRA cannot discipline them under U.K. law. Different advice is given for SAG-AFTRA members based in the U.S. and working in the U.K. on a SAG-AFTRA contract. Equity urges SAG-AFTRA members to contact their union for further advice.
