However, the possibility of a strike is scaring some financiers in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>The union&#8217;s chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-signs-american-churches-are-going-woke\/\" title=\"5 Signs American Churches Are Going Woke\">encouraged members<\/a> to vote to strike as a negotiation tool should they fail to reach a conclusion. Ballots were mailed out on May 18 after the negotiating committee and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/film-projects-on-pause-due-to-potential-strike-report\/\" title=\"Possible strike halts film projects: Report.\">national board voted unanimously<\/a> to put the matter to a vote by its members.<\/p>\n<p>There are 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members, which, when added to some 11,500 writers currently on strike, could bring the entire industry to a halt. Members will have until June 5 to vote and were mailed ballots on Thursday. The Writers Guild of America saw a near-unanimous vote, with 97.85% voting to strike ahead of negotiations.<\/p>\n<h3>Impact on Projects<\/h3>\n<p>Actor Joaquin Phoenix&#8217;s latest venture, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-cnns-van-jones-furious-after-the-view-appearance-they-were-rude-he-was-completely-blindsided\/\" title=\"Report: CNN\u2019s Van Jones Furious After \u2018The View\u2019 Appearance: \u2018They Were Rude,\u2019 \u2018He Was Completely Blindsided\u2019\">film called<\/a> &#8220;The Island,&#8221; was reportedly put on pause because its financer, Film Finances Inc., pulled out of the film, citing the potential strike. Sources claim the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-impeachment-political-theater-ignores-us-history-constitutional-lawyer\/\" title=\"Trump Impeachment \u2018Political Theater,\u2019 Ignores US History: Constitutional Lawyer\">actors involved<\/a> were sent home, and there is no date to commence filming. Its source also implied there are other projects on hold but did not name them.<\/p>\n<h3>Companies Involved<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Amazon\/MGM<\/li>\n<li>Apple<\/li>\n<li>NBCUniversal<\/li>\n<li>Disney\/ABC\/Fox<\/li>\n<li>Netflix<\/li>\n<li>Paramount\/CBS<\/li>\n<li>Sony<\/li>\n<li>Warner Bros. Discovery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Neither FFI nor SAG-AFTRA responded to the Washington Examiner&#8217;s request for comment.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May 2 after failing to negotiate higher wages. With the possibility of SAG-AFTRA members joining them, the industry could face a significant disruption.<\/p>\n<p><b><u><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><b><u><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/biden-republicans-default-blame\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BIDEN AND REPUBLICANS BLAME EACH OTHER FOR DEFAULTS THEY INSIST WON\u2019T HAPPEN<\/a><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for updates on the negotiations and their impact on the film industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media companies including Amazon\/MGM, Apple, Disney\/ABC\/Fox, Netflix, and Sony are set to negotiate with SAG-AFTRA from June 7.
