Way to go Art that’s The Ol’ SAG-AFTRABoardMember Spirit!!!  Look, you think that’s bad, what if I told you that around a Dozen of our SAG-AFTRA board members are soliciting voice over work on the non-union compliant voice-casting website Voices 123.  Not surprisingly, all but one of them is an AFTRA board member.

No, I’m not gonna name them now, but I think in the next election our members need to know who’s playing by the same rules–they are  expected to play by–and who ain’t.  Hopefully, by  then those board members will no longer be soliciting work on the above mentioned website.

Hey, I know union culture in AFTRA is different than it is in SAG.  Even, now, SAG-AFTRA allows AFTRA broadcasters to work non-union. (One reason I was against the merger)  Look, I know-and like-some of these folks…but in all fairness, I think our membership, voting in a union election, have a right to know the candidates stance on this issue.

What about you?  Of course, comments are always welcome.  See below.

*Note that recently the following disclaimer has been posted at the tail end of the SAG-Actor Now non-union job solicitations.

 ‘Note that this is trough Craigslist, so use appropriate caution. Most commercials audition through local agencies. It is obviously non-union, so union talent must follow Rule One and not work without a union contract.’

*Oh, by the way don’t bother to look for the ads posted above on the internet, I tried today and for some reason they have all but disappeared since I teased this story in the article posted below!  As Reverend Al would say:

“Nice try but we got you!”
