Back when they had the writer's strike, wasn't it pretty much set that the deal for writers was carrying over to actors? to hopefully avoid this same fiasco? Be aware, get checked

I hate it when people freak out about this stuff.

They managed to screw the writers and directors (IMO) and now they're trying to screw SAG. The studios walked away from the bargaining table again with SAG just as they did with WGA. And it's all because they're trying to avoid paying actors for stuff they put online.
As for those complaining about factory / customer service work - if you feel that your situation is unfair, you can try to get a union into your workplace too. It's your legal right to do so in most countries. 
OMG, he changed his signature for the first time in years. Miracles can happen.

I can't wait till this is over, then the "Visual Artists Guild" can go on strike, too!

Sure we all know that people like Tom Cruise earn $20 million+, but what about the extras, or struggling new comers earning maybe a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per movie trying to earn a living?
And as a former member of the Philadelphia chapter of the Graphic Artists Guild, I can say without hesitation that these guilds are useful and needed. Follow Me On | |
