Abstract

The Screen Actors Guild, which represents some 160,000 performers, announced a walkout Thursday after failing to reach a new labor agreement with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, which represents studios including Walt Disney Co. and Netflix Inc. (Bloomberg) -- For the first time in six decades, Hollywood writers and actors are on strike at the same time - a cataclysm for hundreds of thousands of film and TV workers already idled by the entertainment industry's growing labor strife. A union representing about 340,000 United Parcel Service Inc. workers is threatening a strike on Aug. 1 if the company doesn't meet wage-increase demands in talks to renew a five-year labor contract.
