Is another strike about to hit Hollywood???
The Screen Actors Guild has rejected the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers’ final offer!!!
SAG was about to accept the AMPTP’s offer when the producers slipped in a last minute adjustment.
“The AMPTP’s last-minute, surprise demand for a new term of agreement extending to 2012 is regressive and damaging. [This] was not a part of their final offer of June 30, 2008; it was not part of the federally mediated talks of November 2008, and should not have been inserted into the discussions when we returned to negotiations on February 17, 2009.”
SAG claim being on a different timeline than other unions would “deleverage our bargaining position from this point forward.”
A 75% union agreement would be needed for a strike of the Screen Actors Guild.
You better think of something quick, AMPTP!
