A hard-line faction of SAG members, dubbed Membership First, has posted a notice on its blog (membershipfirst.blogspot.com) that calls for a rejection of the recent offer made by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, and an immediate strike vote. Says SAG VP Anne-Marie Johnson in the post: ‘What are we waiting for? In my opinion, the deal is not going to improve… It is a bad deal. Forty-four days of actual negotiations, two days of mediation and three days of resumed negotiations with the revamped task force proved that the AMPTP had/has no intention of working with SAG to create an acceptable deal.’
