Hollywood strikes: Actors decide to walk out

The Los Angeles-based Screen Actors Guild has officially gone on strike, marking the start of the largest shutdown Hollywood has seen for 40 years.

Hollywood actors are going on strike. In the last few hours the representatives of the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists - known as SAG-AFTRA, announced its first major strike in 40 years. It follows weeks of talks about pay and the impact of artificial intelligence.
