Ratification ballots are in the mail for the new SAG-AFTRA contract, with pro and con statements from opponents and proponents

In their rebuttal to minority report, supporters of the new pact say “this is the richest deal in TV/Theatrical history, negotiated while our employers watched their businesses grind to a halt. The opposition believes that you should celebrate this victory with a self-inflicted wound. They urge you to reject these gains and jeopardize the return of our work precisely when that mistake will do the most damage to members who are already in financial crisis.

Dissenters include former SAG president Ed Asner, current Los Angeles Local president Patricia Richardson, and national board member Matthew Modine, who lost in his bid last year to unseat SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carters. Other signers of the minority report include national board members Elliott Gould, Neve Campbell, Dianne Ladd, Esai Morales , Jennifer Beals, Joanna Cassidy, and Rob Schneider, as well as Los Angeles local vice presidents Frances Fisher and David Jolliffe.

• The high-budget SVOD gains will exceed syndication losses within 2-3 years and dramatically surpass them ever after. That’s called a good deal. • Above-pattern improvement prohibiting advance pay for new contracts means you get actual money for your residuals, not a credit against a prepayment bargained into your contract.• Coach for under 1,000-mile domestic flights is already allowed. • Given the choice between rejecting this pattern proposal and putting record-setting sums of money in members’ pockets at a time of unprecedented need, we think we made the right call.
