Comment on SAG-AFTRA: We want to exhaust every option "without having to pull the trigger on a strike"

It’s now been eight months since SAG-AFTRA members voted in favour of a strike authorisation in the games industry… While SAG-AFTRA has not moved forward with its strike as of yet…
I wonder if there’s a limit to how long the authorization is valid for?

So it never expires?
Ik really surprised they haven’t actually called a strike given how long it’s been.

It expires when they ink a new contract, as far as I can tell. I think they hold off on the strike for as long as negotiations are ongoing. I think jumping to a strike can poison the well in negotiations like this, so they try to get as far as they can amicably before going scorched earth.
