LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – The SAG-AFTRA actors union on Tuesday agreed to a request from Hollywood studios to call in a mediator to try to reach a new labor agreement in the final hours before their current contract expires.

The 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA have authorized a strike if a deal cannot be reached before midnight on Wednesday.
