Ahead of talks, SAG axes petition


April 14, 2008 SAG's national board has sidelined attempts by a faction of members that would have limited voting on the upcoming TV/film contract, as well as any strike authorization. On Saturday, the board voted 60-40 to send the proposal to a review committee to study, ending any chance of it affecting the upcoming negotiations with producers, which start Tuesday. On Saturday, Rosenberg sent a letter to SAG's 120,000 members outlining the issues the union's negotiators will bring to the table in the upcoming talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers.
