“And significant titles are produced without any union contract, such as Pixar’s “Up”"

IA Local 839 is to the WGA, What AFTRA is to SAG.
A brother union? Oh..no doubt you intended some reference to what you think AFTRA has done to SAG. All too clever by half, Mike.
Don’t blame AFTRA, Mike. SAG shot itself in the foot multiple times under Allen and Rosenberg. Left to her own devices, AMJ wouldn’t change a bloody thing, tactics-wise.
Terrible and wrong comparison.
The IA is nowhere even remotely close to AFTRA.
