[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fran Drescher on Today show. If I heard correctly, there have been no negotiations since the strike started. Is that correct?[/quote]

Yes.  I believe that is what she said.  The other side has refused to speak to the SAG reps since the strike began. Also, it was pretty surprising to hear the stat on how many members don't make enough for health insurance.[/quote]

My brother is one of these members who does not make enough for health insurance most months. He still has to pay SAG dues. [/quote]

Same. My late father thought SAG membership wasn’t worth it because of the high dues but [b]the best jobs go to SAG members[/b]. [/quote]

The way it's phrased in your post, it's as if the idea is that it smacks of some kind of favoritism for a job to go to a union member over a non-union actor. It's not favoritism. It's called working under a labor contract. If the production must use union labor, of course union members get the jobs designated to be filled by...union members.[/quote]
