Even if the writer strike is resolved, the actors are still on strike, right?

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Film industry worker here (union lighting tech. I'm not on strike but I'm not working due to the shutdown). Yes, the actors are still on strike so productions won't be able to resume (although a lot of pre-production will be able to). The hope is though, that the AMPTP cutting a deal with the WGA will both be a sign that they're willing to end the industry shutdown in general, and also that the deal with the WGA can provide a bargaining pattern to make the negotiations with SAG-AFTRA resolve faster. That's just a hope though, only time will tell if it's true.
