Hollywood actors-writers launch strike for 1st time in 63 years

For the first time in 63 years, Hollywood has come to a halt following a double strike by writers and actors—led by the national board for the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA)—over better pay and protection in a rapidly-changing era, among other issues. The decision came on Thursday after contract negotiation talks with major studios and streaming companies failed.
