Vote NO on the Contract Rally Thursday at Dept of Justice

This week’s Rally is at the Department of Justice, 312 N Spring Street in Downtown Los Angeles on THURSDAY, March 26, at 11am-2pm. Public parking at the Olvera Street Market. The nearest Metro Rail station would be Union Station, from there head west on Arcadia Street or Aliso Street , turn L on Spring Street. 312 is on the first block of Spring Street after the freeway bridge, 3-4 blocks from Union station.

We are drawing attention to the fact that the handful of vertically integrated corporations who finance, distribute and exhibit motion picture and video productions, have gained unchecked control over the entertainment industry. They are denying the professionals of the Screen Actors Guild below star level -supporting actors, stunts, dancers, jingles, background – a fair participation in the rewards of this very lucrative business. In our collective bargaining process these giant corporations have demanded rollbacks that ruthlessly cut down the minimum safety net on which our membership depends – residuals, pensions, health care. All our unions have been impacted. Conflicts of interest are rampant. We call on the Department of Justice to investigate the anti-trust implications of these corporations that have abused their market power to disadvantage the entire creative community.

In solidarity
