SAG-AFTRA’s Duncan Crabtree-Ireland Rebuts AMPTP Claims About Its Last Offer Before Actors Strike
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator is weighing on AMPTP’s just-released statement that rebuts the guild’s recent claims about the studios’ final offer before the strike. “I’ll certainly tell you, we haven’t said anything that’s been misleading,” Duncan Crabtee-Ireland told Deadline this afternoon at San Diego Comic-Con right after the studios and streamers put out their dissonant missive. “Everything in there is accurate and we stand by it,” the union leader stated of the 12-page comparison document released on July 17. “The companies have not done what they need to do to treat performers fairly and we’re not going to have a deal until they do,” Crabtree-Ireland added of what went down at the bargaining table and what will go down at the picket lines.
The 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA officially went on strike on July 14. Joining the Writers Guild members who have been on strike since early May, the move by the actors union is the first time that the WGA and SAG-AFTRA have been on strike together since 1960 SAG-AFTRA have not yet responded to the AMPTP”s statement of today.
