SAG is worthless

The more I hear about all this nonsense, the more it just pisses me off. These people are taking my money, our union dues are to pay their salaries and they aren’t doing anything to help our their members. .

The new SAG National Executive Director David White has basically refused to send out the AMPTP‘s offer. Apparently, if SAG doesn’t respond to the offer 60 days after it has been made, the AMPTP has the right to impose the offer on us.

From DHD:

“What happened next had jaws dropping all over the room,” a source told me. “It was clear from David White’s response that he intends to let the clock run out without calling any SAG National Board meeting or sending out the contract. He said SAG had to be ‘strategic’ about this and wanted to make sure the Commercial negotiations were going well before proceeding. That made the MF [Membership First] members go ballistic.”

Those Commercial talks are currently in recess for a week. When told about the urgency of getting the AMPTP LB&FO in the members’ hands for a vote, White responded, “This is not something to do when you’re distracted by the other contract… We’ll have to assess when to have a meeting … I’ve spoken to many members who don’t want us to send out the contract for a vote.”

Just completely astonishing.

I could care less about the commercials contract. Put that on the back burner. This is what needs to be resolved.
