Little hope of deal prior to deadline

SAG Questions & Answers Is SAG going to strike? Though its contract will expire at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, July 1, no strike authorization has been given by membership, nor has one been sought by SAG leadership. It is expected that SAG will continue to negotiate a new contract and members will continue to work under the old agreement. Numerous A-list actors, such as Jack Nicholson, Ben Stiller and Sandra Oh, have weighed in on the SAG/AMPTP negotiations. What affect will these statements have on the talks? Hollywood's big names have come down on both sides of the issue. Some, like George Clooney , have come down in the middle. These statements will likely have some affect, but the impact is difficult to measure. What is at the heart of the dispute? SAG is seeking, among other items, residuals for members' work seen online, increased residual payments for DVDs, and increases in pension and health contributions from studios. What happens July 8? Results from a deal, worked out between AFTRA leadership and AMPTP, and put to a vote of the general membership, are expected. SAG is urging its members -- approximately 44,000 belong to both SAG and AFTRA -- to vote down the proposal. Why has no contract materialized? SAG blames claims that AMPTP's offer is considerably worse than what AFTRA's leadership has negotiated with the studios. AMPTP, on the other hand, claims SAG is refusing to negotiation in earnest until after July 8, when the results of its anti-AFTRA will be known. Has the stalemate caused any financial impact? Studios and production houses are postponing starting work until a deal is reached, effectively causing a work stoppage. The pinch also is being felt across the border in Canada, where studio operators say the SAG contract talks are putting a damper on production there. Key Dates & Figures May 28:AFTRA's leadership strikes deal with AMPTP, subject to ratification by members. June 18:Sandra Oh urges dual SAG and AFTRA members to vote down AFTRA proposal. The following week, she is followed both additional A-list talent, including Jack Nicholson and Ben Stiller. June 30:SAG's contract with the studios expires July 7:Deadline for AFTRA members to cast vote on AMPTP contract July 8:Ratification vote results to be announced Length of WGA strike:100 days Estimated Cost:$2.5 billion in lost revenues

Negotiators for SAG and the studios kept bargaining Monday as the final hours of the guild's contract ticked away.


With little hope of a deal before the pact expired at 12:01 a.m., the union posted a message to its members on its Web site urging them to stay on their jobs.


"All members should continue to report to work and to audition for new work past the expiration date until further notice from the guild," SAG told members Monday. "Such work will be covered under the terms of the expired television and theatrical agreements."


There was no word out of the talks as to whether a contract extension has been requested by SAG. In the absence of an extension, one contract provision that would not stay in effect is the "no-strike, no-lockout" clause. SAG president Alan Rosenberg has done what he can to diffuse the threat of a walkout, saying he doesn't even want to say the "s-word" -- as in strike.


Before calling for a walkout, the question would have to go to a membership referendum. A 75% majority would be required before the guild's leadership was empowered to call for a walkout.


No such pronouncement in regard to a lockout has come from the AMPTP; however, insiders with knowledge of the talks say there are no plans to immediately stop production on the handful of films still in production. The AMPTP could be waiting along with SAG and the rest of Hollywood for July 8, when the results of the AFTRA membership's vote on ratification of their new primetime/TV contract are expected.


SAG's TV/theatrical contract covers 90% of the TV programs in production and 100% of all films. AFTRA ended its 27-year joint bargaining agreement with SAG before the start of negotiations. SAG leaders have been fighting the deal reached by AFTRA negotiators for its 70,000 members.


AFTRA and the 120,000-member SAG have 44,000 members in common. SAG leaders are urging its members in AFTRA to vote against the deal, saying they can strike a better bargain with producers if the contract is defeated.


The studios have brought film production to a virtual halt, but work will continue on the handful of movies the majors are still filming. Sony, for example, will continue production on its tentpole pic "Angels & Demons," a sequel to "The Da Vinci Code."


"In light of what's going on with the de facto strike, a lockout might not be out of the question," said entertainment labor attorney Scott Witlin of Akin Gump. "But really, what you have is a strike without strike authorization, because SAG has already decided to offer these completion guarantees with companies other than the majors. So they are striking the majors. Anybody else (other than the studios) who chooses to can make a deal with SAG to produce."


With the contract expired, the studios could decide to make a "last, best and final offer," which it would at that point have the right to impose upon the guild. SAG would then be forced to accept it, strike, or somehow induce the studios to change their position.


The AMPTP claims that SAG is dragging its feet to the bargaining table while it waits for the AFTRA vote, a charge the guild refutes, pointing out that the studios have yet to make an offer comparable to those that brought its talks with AFTRA to a close.


While SAG continued its talks with the AMPTP, AFTRA held an informational meeting for its members Monday night in Los Angeles to explain the gains it made in its new contract.
