SCREEN ACTOR’S GUILD (SAG) STRIKE UPDATE
A cadre of more than 130 top box office actors including George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Kevin Spacey, Sally Field among others sent a petition to SAG national president Alan Rosenberg, national executive director Doug Allen and other leaders, asking for a cancellation of the strike authorization vote. SAG leaders have not publicly commented on the letter. The opposition letter from the actors said the weakened economy was their motivation to end strike talks and it further stated: “We feel very strongly that SAG members should not vote to authorize a strike at this time,” the letter said. “We don’t think that an authorization can be looked at as merely a bargaining tool. It must be looked at as what it is — an agreement to strike if negotiations fail.” Actors who favor the strike authorization vote include Ed Harris, Rob Morrow, Martin Sheen, Holly Hunter and Mel Gibson.
