SAG-AFTRA has agreed to a last-minute call for federal mediation of its contract, but indicated it will not extend its contract deadline beyond Wednesday at midnight. That would appear to leave relatively little time for a mediator to avert a strike, which could begin as soon as Thursday morning. In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, the union emphasized that “time is running out” and made clear that relations between the two sides have become extremely strained.
