SAG-AFTRA has now gone on strike for more than 100 days, making it the longest strike ever in SAG-AFTRA history.

On Wednesday, Mean Girls’ Lizzy Caplan and Star Trek‘s Zachary Quinto were spotted chatting as they marched along with the other SAG-AFTRA picketers in New York City.

A couple of days before, he posted an Instagram video expressing his thoughts on the SAG-AFTRA strike and encouraging members to join the picket line and stand strong with their union.

“Solidarity is the only way that we are going to get what we are asking for in this negotiation,” Quinto said.

Quinto returned to the picket line on Thursday and shortly after arriving home, posted another video on Instagram, continuing his encouragement for members and non-members to “show up.”

“This negotiation will determine the future of our industry for years to come,” he said. “It will define your ability to provide for your families. It will define your ability to be creative and to make a living doing what you love.”

It has been 104 days since SAG-AFTRA began their strike in mid-July, and there has yet to be an agreement between SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP (The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers).

Last week, former SAG-AFTRA president Melissa Gilbert criticized the union for restricting its members from wearing costumes that represent movie characters.
