Ballots from members of the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists were due Monday and will be counted Tuesday Opponents say the new structure does not go far enough to protect screen actors Whether this latest attempt to unify the unions will succeed is unclear Both unions have campaigned vigorously for the consolidation since approving it in February But SAG members have been bitterly divided, with both sides staging rallies and protests and gathering lists of high profile names for and against the plan Many of the same concerns are being voiced by SAG members opposed to the consolidation AOL Time Warner, Vivendi Universal and other giants have cut thousands of jobs over the past few years, and producers are expected to be especially cost-conscious when the current pacts with actors expire The last attempt to unify the two unions failed in 1999 when SAG members worried that television and radio talent would be allowed to vote on SAG contracts org Proponents say that consolidation is necessary as huge media conglomerates grow more powerful and exercise greater control over acting jobs aftra The consolidation must be approved by 60 percent of the voting members of each union Consolidation proponents say cost cutting has also led to reliance on reality television shows that don't employ professional actors org American Federation of Television and Radio Artists: http://www com Screen Actors Guild: http://sag The new consolidation plan proposes a unified umbrella group and three autonomous affiliates, representing actors, broadcasters and recording artists Prior attempts to merge have failed in large part because SAG members, mainly film and prime-time TV actors, have been unwilling to share power with daytime TV actors, broadcasters and recording artists represented by AFTRA Media consolidation has led to drastic cost cuts as companies scramble to reduce debt and justify their mergers â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Actors opposed to the merger: http://savesag Actors Voting on Merger of Actors Union Jun 30, 6:55 PM EST Movie and television actors will decide Tuesday whether it is better to join forces in the face of media consolidation or to veto another in a long line of attempts to create a unified actors union They say the new union â€â€? the Alliance of International Media Artists â€â€? would simply impose higher dues on SAG members, dilute the strength of both unions and end the autonomy of SAG, which in its long history has been led by such notables as Ronald Reagan and Charlton Heston Opponents include Rob Schneider, Edward Asner, Elliott Gould, and former president Valerie Harper, who lost a bitter election to Gilbert last year Actors supporting the consolidation include Tom Hanks, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen and current SAG president Melissa Gilbert Michael Jackson," said a statement issued by The Final Call, the group's newspaper " "I was the spokesman up until I just resigned Backerman, who has been Jackson's spokesman for a year and was a consultant for six months before that, said Geragos would not have had the authority to fire him Jesse Jackson has called, and I've spoken to him Muhammad, identified on the group's Web site as its chief of staff Attorney Brian Oxman, who is a close friend of the Jackson family and has represented some of them in litigation, said his attorney-client relationship with the family restricted what he can say "I was not fired," he said "He's one of Michael's supporters "If he gets involved on a spiritual basis, that's his business," he said I've heard of the claims, but I do not know their validity "Leonard Muhammad was there," Geragos said Whitman, an accountant, said he continues to be Jackson's financial manager 18, one of those standing behind him was Leonard F Jackson's brother, Jermaine has converted to Islam but is not a member of the Nation of Islam " In a separate development Monday, longtime Jackson spokesman Stuart Backerman said he resigned because of what he called "strategic differences Sources who have been close to the Jackson camp said Muhammad and other Nation of Islam members had been working out of Geragos' office, a claim the lawyer denied "As to what the details are, I have no information Many of Jackson's regular advisers were unable to gain access to the singer after that, they said Geragos said Backerman was fired five days ago because he spoke to the news media during a Jackson family get-together Dec He said he has not talked to Jackson about the Nation of Islam He was asked during an appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live" whether his brother planned to convert and answered no Asked about the Nation of Islam's reported role in directing Jackson's affairs, Koppelman said, "It's not the case as to his music, finances and assets Nation of Islam: No Jackson Defense Role Dec 29, 9:06 PM EST The Nation of Islam on Monday denied it was taking a central role in Michael Jackson's strategy to defend himself against charges that he committed lewd acts on a child The group issued a statement after receiving inquiries from The Associated Press and other news organizations "The Nation of Islam joins thousands of other people in wishing him well I was actively involved with management," Backerman said " Jackson's attorney, Mark Geragos, also denied the reports 20 at Jackson's Neverland estate near Santa Barbara I think it's primarily in security Geragos also ridiculed the Nation of Islam reports during that TV appearance "A lot of people have reached out to Michael Jackson is confidential," he said Anything else I relate to Mr Tons of people are supportive Backerman responded to Geragos' statement by saying, "That's untrue The Jackson insiders, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Nation of Islam members handled security during the Dec " Geragos acknowledged that when he held a news conference on Jackson's behalf after charges were announced on Dec " Koppelman, a former chief of EMI Records, said he negotiated with CBS for the broadcast of a Jackson television special, which is set to air Friday 20 Neverland party and began

told him not to," Geragos said "They are not part of his defense," Geragos said " Two of Jackson's business advisers, Charles Koppelman and Alan Whitman, said they remain in charge of Jackson's music and finances "I'm aware of the claims about the Nation of Islam and the factors behind them," he said Koppelman and Whitman said they have been working with Jackson for about a year The event was
