This is the first time in over 60 years that two out of the three major Hollywood labor unions are on strike, thanks in no small part to the threat of AI to their livelihoods. Basically no one knows what's going to happen next, but the last time this happened, actors and writers made some huge gains against the bosses. It's crazy to think that Ronald Reagan, famous union-breaker, was the head of SAG at the time, too.
