Ted Sarandos is speaking out about the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in Hollywood.

“My dad was a member of IBW Local 640, he was a union electrician. And I remember his local because that union was very much a part of our lives when I was growing up. And I also remember on more than one occasion, my Dad being out on strike. And I remember that because it takes an enormous toll on your family, financially and emotionally.”

“So you should know that nobody here nobody within AMPTP and I’m sure nobody had SAG or nobody at the WGA took any of this lightly,” he continued.

“We’re super committed to getting to an agreement as soon as possible, one that’s equitable, and one that enables the industry, and everybody in it to move forward into the future.”

Another huge organization may be joining the strike this week.
