SAG May Ask AFTRA Members To Reject Deal

In a move that will likely exacerbate tensions between the two primary actors' unions in Hollywood, leaders of the Screen Actors Guild plan to ask members who also belong to the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists to vote against the recent deal negotiated between AFTRA representatives and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. According to the Hollywood Reporter SAG President Alan Rosenberg and Executive Director Doug Allen told top executives of Sony Pictures Monday that the guild plans to derail the AFTRA deal. Neither SAG, AFTRA or the AMPTP has commented on the report.
