Fran Drescher, the president of SAG-AFTRA, said the vote would send a message of \u201cstrength and solidarity\u201d while executive director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland declared it was \u201ctime for an evolution in this contract.\u201d<br \/><br \/>According to Drescher: \u201cThe strike authorization votes have been tabulated and the membership joined their elected leadership and negotiating committee in favor of strength and solidarity. I\u2019m proud of all of you who voted as well as those who were vocally supportive, even if unable to vote. Everyone played a part in this achievement.
