Things are not looking well.

We may have another strike on our hands!!!

As the actors’ agreements with the big media moguls is set to expire this summer, a very unpleasant development occurred this weekend.

Both of the main actors’ unions, SAG and AFTRA, decided to sever all ties.

Each union will now negotiate separately with the studios and big media meanies.

The bad blood between both unions has boiled over and the mudslinging has begun!

“For the past year SAG leadership in Hollywood has engaged in a relentless campaign of disinformation and disparagement,” AFTRA president Roberta Reardon said in a written statement.

SAG President Alan Rosenberg’s written response: “AFTRA’s refusal now to bargain together with us and their last-second abandonment of the joint process is calculated, cynical and may serve the interests of their institution, but not its members.”

The AFTRA board said the vote to terminate the agreement, known as “Phase One,” was “overwhelming.”

Why can’t we all just get along????

There’s strength in numbers!

The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents studios, said in a statement that it looks forward to bargaining with AFTRA. It did not mention SAG.

Television and the local L.A. economy can’t afford another strike!!!!
