SAG holds rally to oppose AFTRA deal

June 09, 2008 SAG took its battle with the studios to the sidewalks outside its L.A. headquarters for a Monday morning rally with members, vowing to fight for a fair deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers and urging actors to vote against the newly brokered AFTRA contract with the major studios and networks. From this point forward, in e-mails and phone calls, with your vote on that contract, say, 'Get back to the table with the Screen Actors Guild.' A member of both unions, Rosenberg said AFTRA gave up the issue of product integration, took an increase in DVD residuals off the table and did not push for an increase in mileage reimbursement, which hasn't been bumped up for 30 years.
