Film workers protest vs. strike at SAG meeting

LOS ANGELES - A dozen film industry workers protested outside a town hall meeting of the Screen Actors Guild on Wednesday night, pleading with actors not to authorize a strike that would bring the entertainment business to a halt.

The workers held up signs saying “Please No Strike Now — The Crew” in the rain outside the complex housing the Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards.

SAG is preparing to send out strike authorization ballots Jan. 2, which could imperil the gala awards night on Feb. 22 if actors boycott.
