SAG-AFTRA members are expected to return to the picket lines Monday to continue striking against the Hollywood Studios amid calls from union president Fran Drescher and union leaders for negotiations to resume "immediately."

Drescher slammed the major studios Friday for suspending contract talks with striking actors and in a joint statement with union leaders demanded negotiations resume in good faith to address performers' specific needs.

The joint statement came from the Writers Guild of America's West and East branches, the Directors Guild of America, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, the American Federation of Musicians, the Teamsters and Hollywood Basic Crafts.
