SAG members vetoed the deal because it would have let broadcasting talent vote on actors' contracts The reduction in scripted shows has meant fewer jobs for actors "Given the fact that there is already a large crossover among the members and a large crossover of employers, it makes sense to consolidate their (the actors') resources and have a unified voice," said Kent Wong, director of the University of California, Los Angeles Center for Labor Research and Education A complicated agreement also gave SAG jurisdiction over shows shot in movie studios, while AFTRA handled productions done in TV studios "What we found is that instead of just being a good idea or a convenience, this kind of unity is more and more becoming an absolute necessity," AFTRA President John Connolly said The move has been put on the fast track because negotiations begin this fall on a new contract for commercial actors Other major pacts expire next year Media consolidation has led to drastic cost cuts as companies scramble to reduce debt and justify their mergers Mergers and acquisitions have reduced that number to just six "There is clearly more momentum and enthusiasm than there has been in the past A vote by members is expected in May, with 60 percent approval by each union required for passage "If you intend to be able to survive and thrive, you better be united AFTRA generally represents recording artists, TV and radio broadcasters, and performers in daytime TV, game or reality shows aftra The Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have long shared many members, even while pursuing sometimes conflicting agendas To sidestep such turf fights, the two unions are now proposing a unified umbrella group and three autonomous affiliates, representing actors, broadcasters and recording artists A merger of the two unions has been discussed and rejected in the past " In 1985, there were 26 major employers of performers and media artists, according to union officials org American Federation of Television and Radio Artists: http://www The last merger attempt came in 1999 " Earlier this month, the boards of the two unions approved a framework for consolidation But in recent years, the consolidation of firms like America Online and Time Warner and the creation of Vivendi Universal have concentrated industry power in fewer hands Traditionally, SAG has negotiated for performers when TV shows were shot on film, while AFTRA represented actors on shows done using video tape sag "What we have to change is the way we approach that The unions already have joined independent TV producers in lobbying the Federal Communications Commission to prevent networks from airing only shows that the networks produce, something critics say has squelched diversity in programming and led to a glut of inexpensive "reality" shows They also are proposing to cut costs by merging health and pension plans â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Screen Actors Guild: http://www SAG generally represents actors in film, commercials and prime-time TV shows The futility of working separately came into sharp focus last year when the unions fought over who would represent performers on television shows shot using digital cameras In a deal negotiated last year among the unions and the Fox network, SAG won jurisdiction over five shows shot with digital cameras, but not before agreeing to let producers pay some actors the lower AFTRA rates â€â€? a compromise that pleased neither union org "Our employers have a responsibility to try and generate the greatest income they can, and if they have to pit us against each other to do that, that's their job," SAG President Melissa Gilbert said Two Actors Unions Propose a Merger Feb 25, 3:01 PM EST The nation's two major actors unions are considering joining forces to increase their clout in the face of changing technology and the consolidation of the entertainment industry They are to meet again April 5 to consider a specific business plan and constitution, along with a new name " Already, 60 percent of AFTRA's 80,000 members are also SAG members, while 40 percent of SAG's 120,000 members also belong to AFTRA 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 Virgili said she didn't know whether Pitt and Jolie would be at the shooting in Glenwood Canyon because a duplicate set has been built in California "It's breathtaking Smith" will be shot at the tunnels, which beat out various other locations, including one in West Virginia, said Marianne Virgili, executive director of the Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie to Star in Film Jan 14, 2:36 PM EST The Hanging Lake tunnels in Glenwood Canyon will star alongside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in an upcoming action film Scenes for the Regency film "Mr and Mrs "The beauty of the canyon sold them," Virgili said of the filmmakers' choice " The film, scheduled for release later this year, features Pitt and Jolie as a couple in a failing marriage who are also covert assassins hired to kill each other Doug Liman ("Go," "The Bourne Identity") is the director |
