The union representing 160,000 actors said it has agreed to a request from studios and streaming services to meet with federal mediators over contract negotiations but is still prepared to go on strike at 11:59 pm PDT on Wednesday unless a deal is reached.

“We will not be distracted from negotiating in good faith to secure a fair and just deal by the expiration of our agreement,” said the statement from SAG-AFTRA, the actors union. “We are committed to the negotiating process and will explore and exhaust every possible opportunity to make a deal, however we are not confident that the employers have any intention of bargaining toward an agreement.

There was no comment about the mediation request or its acceptance from the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers , which is negotiating on behalf of the studios, including Amazon\n \n , Apple\n \n , CBS\n \n , Disney\n \n , NBC Universal, Netflix\n \n , Paramount Global, Sony\n \n and CNN parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.
