SAG negotiating committee punts strike vote to board

Because power has shifted within the Screen Actors Guild, the union's negotiating committee recommended a strike to the guild's national board from their members.
Though the negotiating committee has the power to call a strike but deferred the matter to the board. So now the new board will take up the issue Oct. 18, but its not clear if the board's newly elected directors will be able to oppose a strike authorization from the negotiation committee.

It seems as though the negotiating committee was pushing for a strike to be called from the board so that if something goes wrong, the board will be to blamed and the newly elected board members would suffer from that.

I feel this is good PR because this article I had reveals something negative of the negotiation committee.
