On Thursday, guild members will learn whether MembershipFirst, which currently controls the Hollywood and national boards, will continue to hold sway -- or whether a new faction called Unite for Strength will unseat the majority on both boards. Which faction prevails will crucially influence the stalled talks with the Hollywood studios as well as an eventual rapprochement with estranged sister union AFTRA.
