Walter Pidgeon reads statement in Chicago, IL, regarding Screen Actors Guild request for intervention in 1946 Hollywood

The transcript discusses a meeting in Chicago where representatives of the Screen Actors Guild, part of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), address labor disputes between AFL unions. These disputes, unrelated to wages or hours, are causing issues in Hollywood that the studios and workers cannot resolve alone. The actors, maintaining neutrality, urge the AFL to create procedures for resolving such disputes internally to avoid jurisdictional strikes, which only result in job losses and do not resolve conflicts.

How do the actors view their role in the ongoing labor disputes?

What request are the actors making to the American Federation of Labor?
