Still No Deal For SAG
Posted on June 19, 2008
With less than two weeks to go before the SAG contracts are up and no deal in sight, everyone is wondering what the Hell is next. After the Directors, Writers, and AFTRA made major concessions to move forward, there is little evidence that SAG too will bow to pressures on DVD sales. The whole industry is changing drastically, and a wrong move in these negotiations can make the difference between middle class artists and street corner artists.
If a deal isn’t reached by the end of the month, the union could either vote to extend the previously existing contracts, or vote to authorize a strike. Is the American television viewing audience patient enough for another hiatus? I doubt it.
