“It is a privilege to picket in solidarity with@WGAwestseeing new friends and old, all of us laborers striking for fair pay and so much more,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself on the picket line. “If it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage, folks.@sagaftra#interactive#games#unionstrong#1u#safestudios#fairpay#wegotyourback#negotiatingcommittee”
Plaza has also been outspoken about the strike, sharinga photo of herself with a signthat read, “Do you have fair wages? It’d be a lot cooler if you did.”
On July 13, SAG-AFTRA PresidentFran Drescherexcoriated Hollywood executives in a speech, announcing the union’s intention to strike after failed contract negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).
Ahead of the strike, members of SAG-AFTRA had been seeking pay and residual increases, higher caps on pension and health contributions as well as regulating the use of artificial intelligence, among other things. Many Hollywood stars have since hit the picket lines to support the strike, includingMariska Hargitay,Hilary Duff,Francia Raisa,Bryan CranstonandJason Sudeikis.
