The Screen Extras Guild went on strike today against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers over a proposed 40% wage and benefit reduction.
Harry Klemm, a spokesman for the union, said the guild’s 6,000 members walked off their television and movie sets. “The stalemate is the 40% cut in wages and benefits,” Klemm said. “We have told them we would not accept that type of cut and they have refused to budge.”
