Everyone is elated about the end of the WGA strike. Writers are back to work this morning.
But actress Samantha Mathis, who’s on the SAG AFTRA strike negotiating team, has posted an ominous message to social media: negotiations between the union and AMPTP haven’t started yet. There’s been nothing since July. She says, “We have no confirmed dates scheduled to meet with the AMPTP.”
And that was posted at 8am Eastern this morning. ALmost a day ago, Mathis wrote: “We could meet tomorrow. We are waiting on the @AMPTP to resume talks. As we have been since July 13.”
Fourteen hours later, crickets.
Until the SAG strike is resolved, Hollywood remains at a standstill.
