LOS ÁNGELES – A Fran Drescher se la conocía principalmente por haber protagonizado la serie “The Nanny” (“La Niñera”), pero su declaración de huelga como presidenta del gremio de actores de EEUU ha dado un vuelco a su imagen y la ha erigido en una combativa líder sindical.“Avariciosas empresas de Wall Street que reparten dinero a diestro y siniestro entre sus ejecutivos y se olvidan de los trabajadores esenciales. (…) Es repugnante, debería darles vergüenza”, sentenció la presidenta del Sindicato de Actores de Hollywood (SAG-AFTRA) con su peculiar tono nasal.Su beligerante discurso llegaba tras un mes de negociaciones infructuosas para renovar el convenio colectivo de los intérpretes con la Alianza de Productores de Cine y Televisión (AMPTP), entidad que engloba a conglomerados como Warner Bros.

We have not used them yet. But of course if they are used against us, we r...
