And Happy Boxing Day from the Allens
December 26, 2008 by admin.
A bizarre e-mail from 5757 this afternoon:
From: Screen Actors Guild
Sent: Dec 26, 2008 7:39 PM
To: SAG Members
Subject: GUILD MEMBERS: Contract Reminder
Dear Screen Actors Guild Member,
During this holiday season, and into the new year of 2009, please be reminded that you are free to audition, accept employment and work under all of the Guild’s contracts.
These include the following:
Basic Cable Animation Agreement
Basic Cable Live Action Agreement
Commercials Contract
Industrial/Educational Agreement
Interactive Media/Video Game Agreement
Theatrical and Television Agreements
TV Animation Agreement
The terms and working conditions that apply under these contracts shall continue without change until further notice, whether or not they have expired.
We wish all of you a happy and healthy new year.
Screen Actors Guild
Did someone get confused? Very confused? Did the Allens want to remind us they still exist? Or is there something going on that none of us understand?

Holiday Schedule
December 24, 2008 by admin.
We’re taking a break for the holiday. Barring the unlikely event of the AMPTP playing Santa and us noticing that they did it, we’re all putting union activity aside, and heading for family activities.
We hope you’re all doing the same, and that your holidays are a lot better than this past year!
All the best-
from the SAGWatch crew

December 22, 2008 by admin.
Hedgpeth and Reardon, interviewed by Andrew Salomon. Largely history, but well worth a read.

Signs of Unpleasant Things to Come
November 24, 2008 by Editor.
The timing may not be coincidental, but the article is one you shouldn’t miss. And it leads us to question whether it’s time to separate TV and Theatrical.Variety offers some analysis of the dire economics of over the air television.Saturday morning kids programming on Fox giving way to network infomercials is only the start of the bad news.

An Interesting Reader Question - But Is Our Answer Correct?
October 11, 2008 by admin.
A reader wrote in with a simple question - when does the SAG Basic Cable Agreement expire? The full letter and our answer is on the Letters to SAGWatch page. But we’re not positive that our answer is correct (our contracts expert is off on vacation). Does anybody have a correction or more information?
