NOTICIAS ESCALOFRIANTES: SE SOLICITA A ACTORES VOTAR A FAVOR DE HUELGA

***************************************************************

With Hollywood barely recovered from last year’s paralyzing100-day-long writers strike, the Screen Actors Guild have announced they will ask their members to vote for a strike. Marathon talks between Hollywood’s largest actors union and producers broke off at 1:00 a.m. Saturday after 27 hours of failed negotiation under the guidance of a federal mediator. SAG’s contract with Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers expired June 30 with the two sides unable to agree on how actors would be paid when movies and TV shows are distributed through "new media," such as mobile phones and the Internet.

"Let’s review the facts: SAG is the only major Hollywood guild that has failed to negotiate a labor deal in 2008," the producers’ group said in a Saturday statement. "Now, SAG is bizarrely asking its members to bail out the failed negotiating strategy with a strike vote — at a time of historic economic crisis. The tone-deafness of SAG is stunning."  Approval of a strike referendum, which requires the support of 75 percent of SAG’s 120,000+  members, is not a foregone conclusion but all of Hollywood is holding its breath. Earlier this year because of the writers strike, film crews lost jobs, waitresses, nannies and drivers lost customers, small businesses all over town closed and hard-working people lost their homes as film and TV productions shut down. C’mon guys, just settle… there’s too much at stake!
