Support SAG Actors Negotiating New Contracts

To:  SAG

Support SAG actors, currently working with expired contracts. The studios current offer includes paying actors $0 for residuals on internet airplay of TV shows. Residuals make up 50% of an actors salary.

Did crew members have to take a 50% pay cut this year? No. Writers? No. How about directors? No.

Support 120,000 SAG actors as they negotiate with the AMPTP for a living wage. These actors are mostly unrecognized to the general audiences. But without them the crew would then have nobody to film, and the writers would just be daydreaming with pens.

"We look at it [hulu.com] as a replacement for providing re-runs," said Peter Chernin, CEO of Fox Entertainment Group. October 16, 2008, Q&A with Chuck Ross, editor of "TV Week."

"We view crackle[.com] as our tv network. It just happens to be on the internet." Sean Carey, Exec VP of Sony Pictures Television. December 3, 2008, L.A. Times.
