Where ever you stand on the dust-up between AFTRA and SAG, it’s important to know the facts. SAG has recently posted some details about matters they regard as having been distorted on some blogs.

I’ll be interested to know if anybody else this take on the SAG posting – did anyone else sense as they read the post that the blog post seemed more of a personal and fairly defensive post in its tone from an organization that I would think would prefer to present a confident, “just the facts†and “we’ve got things under control†tone?
I’m not in a union so I’ve got no axed to grind and I don’t believe I’m pre-disposed to one side or the other on this fight SAG is having.
But I get the distinct sense that once this fight is over, no matter the outcome, the way SAG has handled its PR in the public’s eye and in the eyes of its members (maybe the more important of the two audiences) that SAG’s PR actions overall will become a white paper on how not to behave.
I’m open to dissenting opinions and debating the topic here as I know mine is just one very distant, unaffected voice.
Best always,
– Peter

Peter,
Thank you for your comments. I am disappointed in at least some of the actions of both SAG and AFTRA in their on-going dispute and can’t imagine that this struggle is helping the cause of the rank and file all that much. But, that’s just my opinion.
Be well,
Bob
