About this listen
In this episode of Negotiating Government, Negotient Associate Miranda Worthington (former Director of Industrial Relations at the UK Department of Health & Social Care) and Founding Partner, Josh Flax (former Deputy Director of the Federal Mediation Service) unpack one of the most talked‑about labour disputes in recent years, the 2023 SAG‑AFTRA strike.
In this conversation, they use the Hollywood-based strike to explore why rational negotiators can end up embracing mutually damaging strikes, unpacking how cognitive biases like the sunk cost fallacy and stop‑loss bias distort decision‑making under pressure. They also unpack the role of "moves away from the table”, and how SAG‑AFTRA successfully leveraged celebrity visibility to shape public opinion.
