While you may not agree with SAG's tactics in this matter, the tactics of the AMPTP are one-hundred times more scummy:
SAG Board Votes To Reject AMPTP's Final Offer
28 July 2008 11:02 AM, PDT
The current standoff between the Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers seemed certain to continue indefinitely as the union's board on Saturday unanimously voted to reject the AMPTP's "final offer." The AMPTP responded that it has no intention of altering the offer and pointed out that SAG members are the only ones in the industry who are not receiving the additional pay raises and benefits that it agreed to pay other union members. The AMPTP has placed a counter on its website displaying the amount of lost wages and residuals to SAG members sine the stalemate began. SAG disputes the figures.
