The sequel Hollywood needs to avoid

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, July 2,2008 6:39 p.m.

This week, the contract between the Screen Actors Guild, the primary labor union representing actors, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, the organization consisting of producers and power players, ended. Yet another strike looms within the film and television industries, which are still recovering from the Writer’s Guild strike that ended only five months ago. Just like any sequel, the details this go-around are a bit different, and the stakes have been raised. Although SAG represents about 120,000 members of the acting community and roughly 90 percent of film and TV actors, another similar labor organization known as the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists represents the other 10 percent. Making matters worse is that 44,000 of AFTRA’s 70,000 members are members of both that organization and SAG.
