The media moguls must be loving it!
According to new reports, tensions within the Screen Actors Guild mounted on Monday as the union’s Hollywood-based leaders rejected a call by SAG’s New York branch to bring in a federal mediator to break a deadlock in contract talks with the major studios.
The NY delegation publicly challenged the claims of SAG president Alan Rosenberg and chief negotiator Doug Allen that the union is holding informal talks with studio representatives in a bid to close a deal.
They also accused the Hollywood leadership of “failing to bargain realistically … and remove unattainable items from the table.”
The latest exchange between the West and East coast boards highlights the ever growing internal split over the seven-week-old contract stalemate.
See what happens when you get drama queens to do business?
At the end of the day we have a feeling that actors will get screwed by big biz.
Way to go, SAG!
