SAG-AFTRA Joint Commericals Strike In NYC

American actor Judd Hirsch speaks from a lectern during a joint SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) protest in Bryant Park, New York, New York, June 14, 2000. Among those visible behind him are SAG President and actor William Daniels (seated left), actor Kathryn Hahn (seated, third left in denim jacket), TV host Dick Cavett (seated fore, second right), and actor Lauren Bacall (1924 - 2014) (fore, right, in sunglasses). The strike, against the American Association of Advertising Agencies, lasted for six months during negotiations over payments to actors for commercials appearing on cable television (as opposed to broadcast TV).
