[HIGHLIGHTS] Hollywood actors' union approves strike – could have major impact on TV and film

The American acting union SAG-AFTRA voted through a "strike approval" with 98 percent support among members. By 30 June, the parties must have agreed.

For six weeks, screenwriters have been on strike in Hollywood and now they can be joined by the American actors' union. The actors argue that their remuneration has shrunk due to inflation and the movement of film and television to streaming platforms. The threat of a strike has also put insurance companies cold feet. The film "The Island" starring Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara has had to be put on hold because it could not be insured.
