The Screen Actors Guild sets its call to action in an effort to avoid anotther industry strike...Union will not begin talks until April at earliest...
The NY board says contract talks could and should start sooner...
"I see absolutely no value to the members in delaying these talks any longer," said Sam Freed, the guild's New York president. "We are dealing with serious issues. We should already be at the bargaining table."
The New York board says charges SAG's leadership "is ignoring the proven success of the strategy of early negotiations" and "wasting valuable time" by fighting with its joint bargaining partner, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA).
I agree. There's absolutely no reason on earth why the talks can't begin before March ends! After all that Hollywood's been through --Why would anyone want to let that much time lapse. The Directors Guild of America took just days to solve its labor dilemma once formal talks began...The actors union would be wise to make an effort to do the same...Why should anyone have to sweat it out till spring?
Silly Just silly.
