DOUG ALLEN STATEMENT |
"Screen Actors Guild hand-delivered to AFTRA a written request on June 5, asking that AFTRA delay conducting a ratification vote in order to allow SAG the opportunity to successfully complete its negotiations.
“Screen Actors Guild also offered to propose to the AMPTP that any improvements Screen Actors Guild thereafter negotiates would be offered to AFTRA without further negotiation.
“SAG requested that AFTRA's national board,, which met Friday and Saturday, respond to the request.
“We have received the response of AFTRA’s national board which declined to provide SAG with the opportunity to increase our leverage to further improve upon the tentative deal and to help ensure that actors get the best possible terms and conditions.
“SAG has completed our analysis of the AFTRA deal. We have discussed that analysis with our committee and elected leadership. We will be communicating the results of that analysis to our membership to inform SAG members about the potential impact of the AFTRA deal on our negotiations and consequently on our effort to secure the best possible contract for actors.
“We have put out a call to our membership to attend a solidarity rally to show support for their fellow actors, the Guild and the negotiating committee's efforts to ensure a fair contract for actors. The rally will take place at Screen Actors Guild national headquarters Monday, June 9, at 10 a.m.."
