LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Hollywood’s actors union voted to authorize a strike if contract talks break down, turning up the heat on major film and television studios already grapp<\/a>ling with a monthlong work stoppage by writers.<\/p>\n

After voting closed on Monday, SAG-AFTRA said 97.91% of ballots cast supported a strike authorization. Nearly 65,000 members, or about 48% of those eligible, voted on the measure.<\/p>\n

“Bravo SAG-AFTRA. We are in it to win it,” Fran Drescher, the union’s president, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Talks between the 160,000-member union, Hollywood’s largest, and the major studios are scheduled to start on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

No new negotiations are scheduled with the striking Writers Guild of America (WGA), which represents 11,500 film and TV writers. Their walkout has disrupted production of late-night shows and shut down high-profile projects including a new season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and a “Game<\/a> of Thrones” spinoff for Warner Bros Discovery’s HBO.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, the studios likely averted a second work stoppage by reaching a tentative deal with the Directors Guild of America (DGA). That pact will take effect if DGA members vote to ratify it in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

With the actors, “we are approaching these negotiations with the goal of achieving a new agreement that is beneficial to SAG-AFTRA members and the industry overall,” said the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents Walt Disney Co, Netflix Inc and other studios.<\/p>\n

A strike by actors would lead to a broader shutdown across Hollywood and increase pressure on studios that need programming to feed their streaming services and the fall TV broadcast schedule.<\/p>\n

In the negotiations, actors are seeking higher pay and safeguards against unauthorized use of their images through artificial intelligence. Their current deal expires June 30.<\/p>\n

SAG-AFTRA leaders said the industry had changed dramatically with the rise of streaming television and the emergence of new technology<\/a> such as generative AI.<\/p>\n

The coming talks “may be one of the most consequential negotiations in the union’s history,” said chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland.<\/p>\n

“Inflation, dwindling residuals due to streaming, and generative AI all threaten actors\u2019 ability to earn a livelihood if our contracts are not adapted to reflect the new realities,” he said.<\/p>\n
