Meeting comes after strike announced on 13 July by actors’ union, joining writers to negotiate for new contracts with producers

Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars met on Monday to discuss the actors’ strike as their union warned that without “transformative change” the entire profession is under threat.

Members of Sag-Aftra, a labor union for US actors, gathered over Zoom on Monday to go over talking points and answer questions about their ongoing strike, Variety reported in an exclusive. The meeting was attended by about 500 agents, publicists and actors, including Lupita Nyong’o, Laverne Cox and Melissa McCarthy.
