Sag-Aftra has agreed to a “last-minute” request for federal mediation by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), ahead of a potential strike by the US union.

The organisation’s negotiation committee said it would not be distracted from negotiating “in good faith” with the AMPTP, as it seeks to reach a fair, new deal for its members.
