2023 SAG-AFTRA strike

[spongie33]

At midnight, there will be a strike for all voice actors in the SAG. Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Roger Bumpass, Clancy Brown, and Carolyn Lawrence are confirmed members. https://www.sagaftra.org/get-involved/tv-animation/tv-animation-supporters.
It sounds like that if they join the strike, only episodes that didn't get recorded will be affected. Unclear if the show's production will be affected.

You love to see labor power throwing some weight around! Now, can we finally get this in other industries?

I looked on the list and actually couldn't find Rodger's name. A name I did find is Jill Talley.

Have any of the writers been involved in the writers' strike? The way Nick sporadically airs episodes this probably will barely affect production, unless the writers are involved too.

Another strike? This is great GIVE POWER TO THE WORKING CLASS!

I heard that the SpongeBob writers are not part of the strike

I assume this will affect most stuff SpongeBob related

Hopefully the strike doesn't last long

This just means that for the first time ever Nickelodeon will have to rely on other things besides cartoons and SpongeBob SquarePants

This should be interesting...

I'm real excited about this, writers and actors striking together? This is sorely needed. Honestly, we need a general labor strike.

Brian Cox, a Scottish actor, said the strike could last until the end of this year.

My hope is just that it works. How long it takes is for the fat cats to decide.

With the way these major studios are talking about forcing the writers to strike until they "become homeless", this is no surprise at all.

Yeah The Animation Guild is not on strike...but I bet they're next.

The strike has affected the release of The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, which has been delayed to December 19th 2025 because of it. It was originally scheduled for release on May 23rd, 1 week before my 21st birthday, but now I'll already be 21 when it releases 6 days before Christmas Day.

As of yesterday, video game performers are now on strike. This strike was authorised last September.
