LOS ANGELES After months of seeing its talks with the Hollywood producers go nowhere, the Screen Actors Guild's negotiating committee Wednesday urged its national board to take a strike authorization vote of its membership.
The national board, newly constituted in the wake of recent elections, will meet Oct. 18.
'A strike authorization vote of the membership is necessary to overcome the employers' intransigence,' the resolution said. It also called for the national board to adopt a campaign advocating a 'yes' vote, giving the bargaining team the authority to call a strike when the board 'deems it necessary and unavoidable to do so.'
A 'yes' vote would be required by 75 percent of the membership to authorize a strike.
Much like the writers strike last year, a strike by SAG would disrupt TV, film and Web production and could have consequences for advertisers -- though the actors have already come to terms with ad groups on commercial production by extending an existing deal.
The decision to ask members for strike authorization could be a watershed for the stalled talks. If the request received approval, SAG negotiators could go back to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers armed with a solid indication of the rank and file's resolve. Should it fail, however, the union would have to choose between accepting the Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers' current offer or continuing trying to break the current stalemate from a decidedly weaker position

The commuter train smashed into a Union Pacific freight train near Chatsworth, Calif., on Sept. 12.
Sanchez, 46, died in the crash, which also injured 135 people, nine of them critically.
