The community involves over 160,000 actors, media professionals, broadcast journalists and hosts. The union receives security of pay and working conditions from the big Hollywood studios.

The SAG-AFTRA strikes a bargain at the gap of every three years with Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) which includes studios and streaming services such as Disney, Warner Bros and Netflix.

SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP failed to reach an agreement on July 12, as a result of which an indefinite strike was declared. The impact was immediately felt, as it was reported that Oppenheimer stars Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh left the red carpet in support of the guild's decision.
