Membership First to SAG: “We are the union”

Here we go again.

Membership First is circulating an e-mail calling for some sort of demonstration at Monday’s Hollywood Board meeting. As seems to be the norm, it isn’t exactly clear where the e-mail originated. As also is the norm, it is clear as to the fear tactics and inaccurate statements in the message.

Dear SAG Member: 
On Monday, February 2nd, 2009, we are asking for your help, participation and strong voices. 
As you may have already heard, the so-called “moderates” Unite For Strength, New York, and Regional Branch SAG members have torpedoed the hard work of SAG’s TV/Theatrical Negotiating Committee, fired NED/Chief Negotiator Doug Allen, created a non proportional “Task Force”, and muzzled President Alan Rosenberg. They may also try to deny you, the SAG member, the right to vote on a Strike Authorization.
The Hollywood Division Board will be in session that evening. We need to remind them, especially the UFS board members, that WE ARE THE UNION.
Come and peacefully show your support for the Hollywood Board members who are still fighting the good fight. Still trying to keep this union strong. Still fighting to protect our RIGHT TO VOTE!!!!!
