SAG-AFTRA officials recommend strike after contracts expire without new deal

A deadline for Hollywood actors to reach a deal with studios and streaming services passed Thursday without word on whether a strike would be called, and their union's negotiating board then voted unanimously to recommend a walkout, the union said.
The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists had set a deadline of 11:59 p.m. PDT Wednesday, when their contracts expired, for a deal to be reached.
But the time came and went without an agreement and SAG said its negotiating committee then opted to recommend that the SAG-AFTRA national board call a strike. The board is slated to vote on that Thursday morning, the union said.
