LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Screen Actors Guild says it will hold its strike vote next month.
President Alan Rosenberg made the announcement in an e-mail sent to members on Wednesday, and asked them to give the guild's board the authority to call a strike "only if it becomes absolutely necessary."
The vote could take more than a month and requires 75 percent approval to pass.
Mediated talks between SAG and the Hollywood studios broke down early Saturday.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers responded to the e-mail by saying the guild failed to explain why it deserves a better deal than other unions that have already settled.
The producers also said SAG members will lose more in the first days of a strike than they could ever expect to gain.
