And Another Actor Voting NO On The SAG TV/Theatrical Contract

[DrChebutykin]

Thank you for your specific details, Rob, especially for mentioning "$750 a day" old network re-run rate, versus the "$22.50" new internet constant-run rate.

Thank you for speaking out, when many of us are too shy to do so.

[STUNTGIRLdotcom]

Thank you Rob. :-))

Amen brother ! jobs with justice i'll be there.If we vote this contract in as is the newspaper boy will be able to cash our paychecks.The only thing worse than a strike is a contract we can't live with.Remember there is never a good time to strike ! This is not a concillatory contract. Vote No

[TheBigStarz]

Thank you Rob for your courage to take a stand for the rank and file. I know it's not a popular stance to support the people who work below star status, you are true friend to actors.

[Davidhillberg]

Keep up the good work few others will do.

BACKGROUND WILL VOTE NO!

AT THE BACKGROUND MEETING LAST NIGHT WE HAVE DECIDED TO VOTE NO ON EVERY CONTRACT UNTIL OUR NEEDS ARE ADDRESSED!

you superstars have openly called us monkeys on this forum.

we now will flex our strength and vote NO!

SAG came to the background community and begged us to join. we didn't go to SAG.

either protect us or we will vote NO on every contract!

BACKGROUND UNITED FOR FAIR REPRESENTATION

[SAGDEAL]

VOTE NO. Union Background has been eliminated from some future network episodics in this AMPTP contract offer. See new video: ELIMINATION OF SAG BACKGROUND at SAGDEAL channel. click "sagdeal" above.

If you vote "NO" say goodbye to our Union! there will be No TV period! SAG will fold without it! AFTRA will be the Stronger Union. Look at membership First they are jumping ship trying to get on the board at AFTRA because they told everyone to vote "NO" and now they know what that means. They won't have a future with SAG so They are going to AFTRA. Be Sure to not vote for Anne-marie!!!!!!!!!!

This contract will literally throw the Elderly members of this guild out like TRASH. Some of these folks need their pre71 & 74 residuals TO EAT! Or how about the crippled Stunt people who took jobs that caused PERMANENT damage to their bodies because they were counting on residual checks from what they had done to themselves. Or the child actors, who won't even HAVE a PENSION because of this. VOTE NO for ETHICS, CONSCIENCE & YOUR FUTURE. The DAMAGE it does to the HELPLESS FAR outweighs Raises!

Is that 'Kid', from 'Kid 'n Play'?

[danakaminski]

I have always wondered why people have blamed actors for the industry work slowdown! Thank you for mentioning the, du-uh, economy! Did the impending actors strike force less advertising and big budget movie marketing? That lessened substantially in the last year! It's the economy.

Don't let the economic pressure keep actors from voting for their survival. Vote NO. It's a contract that is lined with holes!

I love the fact that he's doing this pro-union bit standing in front of his giant, "fuck you bit player actors" pop out bus/trailer behind him. Nice.

[SAGDEAL]

Rob is right. This contract also CUTS Background Performers from some network produced episodics. See new vid. at SAGDEAL channel for details.

[RevelationJoeTess]

I must add that 2 beautiful women in the room with me when I viewed this video said that they also loved Rob Schneider before, but NOW they want to "put their boobs all over him" they think he is so great. I guess Integrity & Conscience really do get you somewhere... ha ha ha. But seriously, Rob, thank you for taking the time to try to protect the hard-working & less prominent SAG folks who will be DESTROYED by this Contract. Vote NO like Rob. A guy who'll have lotsa boobs on him for being good.

[RevelationJoeTess]

Wow. Just when you thought it wasn't possible to love Rob Schneider more... Oh, geeze. It just happened...
