BREAKING! A Possible SAG Strike is getting closer. Tonight the Screen Actors Guild rejected an offer from studios. SAG issued the studios a counter bid to the studios’ contract offer.

That studio offer from last week was called a “final offer”, but so much for that take it or leave it position by the studios. The two sides returned to the bargaining table today here in Los Angeles to prevent a pending strike. The studio’s bargaining agent is the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Their statement is that SAG “put labor peace at risk” by not accepting their offer.
