Welcome to the Operation


This blog is designed to help crew workers, SAG members, and various other industry professionals organize efforts to block a strike attempt by the Screen Actors Guild in 2009. While generally supportive of the actors, we feel now is not the time to put thousands of people out of work nor place one union's importance ahead of others'. Countless have already been put out of work, or at least seen reduced working opportunities, since SAG's contract expired in June 2008. Upon contract expiration, productions slowed significantly over strike fears and with each passing day, it only gets worse. Now we are moving into the 7th month of non-movement, failed negotiations between SAG and AMPTP, and most recently a controversial campaign to authorize a strike.

We say: "Enough is enough. Let us get back to work."

The Mission

1. Stop the strike authorization process altogether.

or

2. Influence SAG members to vote NO on a strike.

Stay tuned for updates on the campaign!
