107- SAG-AFTRA vs HOLLYWOOD -
TV-FILM Studios
(the AFTRA-SAG
Merger)
• A
Web Users Guild.com Report
http://webusersguild.com/
 •
WILL THE HOLLYWOOD FILM-TV STUDIO
Industry be able to handle the
new monetary demands just created
by the merger of SAG-AFTRA? AFTRA
was created in 1935, and SAG --
1933.
•
•
Creating Hollywood's
largest entertainment union was
easy this time around. Members of
both
unions voted overwhelmingly to
combine into a single
bargaining unit.
•
•
Before March 30, 2012, the
Screen Actors Guild (SAG) was a
stand alone labor union
representing over 105,000 film
and television principals and
background performers
worldwide.
•
•
AFTRA has about 70,000
members who are actors as well as
singers, dancers, disc jockeys,
sports announcers, comedians and
broadcast journalists, among
others. About 40,000 people hold
membership in both labor
groups.
•
•
The historic vote
comes nearly two years after
union leaders began discussions
to merge in a bid to gain
more leverage in contract
negotiations with studios
and to end a long history of
jurisdictional disputes and
feuding over negotiating
strategy.
• The new SAG-AFTRA
Union
..will total more
than 150,000 members.
•
•
National officers,
including the president and
secretary-treasurer, would be
elected directly by members.
However, some other positions,
such as an executive vice
president, would be elected by
delegates at a convention held
every two years -- a concession
to AFTRA's tradition of using
conventions and delegates. SAG
elects its officers directly by a
vote of members.
•
•
Members including
television, radio, cable, sound
recordings, music videos,
commercials, audio books,
non-broadcast industrials,
interactive games, internet, and
other digital media&emdash;have
been moving forward together with
the American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists.
Here are some of the events and
milestones that helped
define
AFTRA:
• 1933
SAG was established in 1933,
when several of that day's top
movie stars -- all walked off the
set.
• 1935
Congress passes the National
Labor Relations Act.
• 1937
AFTRA, wasn't AFTRA it was
AFRA, without the T because we
didn't have television
yet…just radio artists and
it was established in 1937. Since
that day, there was an absolute
internal "class war" with Radio
performers versus Movie
Stars.
•
•
And as we got into the
inception, of the golden age of
TV, the T got added. At the time,
way back in the day, it made
sense that SAG organized the work
in Primetime television being
shot on film because that is what
movies were shot on.
•
•
Not only that, the
organization includes most of the
Commercials also shot on film in
a separate negotiation and
contract. It made sense that
AFTRA organized all of the
Television (mostly sit-coms like
All in the Family) that were
"taped" in front of a live
audience and shot on
Video-TAPE.
• 1937
Independent efforts by radio
performers in Los Angeles to
create a Radio Actors Guild and
in New York to form a Radio
Equity are combined to establish
the American Federation of Radio
Artists.
•
•
On August 16, 1937, the
Four A's&emdash;the Associated
Actors and Artistes of
America&emdash;grant a charter to
the new union, with 400 members
in two Locals. Chicago, the
center for "soap opera"
production, quickly follows New
York and Los Angeles with
performers forming their own
Local. By December, AFRA has more
than 2,000 members covering
almost 90% of all radio artists
in key broadcast cities.
• 1938
With the support of radio
stars Eddie Cantor, Edgar Bergen,
Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, and
others, AFRA members negotiate
the first collectively bargained
agreement on a national scale
with NBC and CBS. After four days
and nights of negotiation, the
Basic Network Sustaining
Agreement is signed on July 12,
1938, and establishes a wage
increase of 125%, and union
security for radio talent.
•
•
The American Federation of
Television and Radio Artists
(AFTRA) was a performers' union
that represented a wide variety
of talent, including actors in
radio and television, radio and
television announcers and
newspersons, singers and
recording artists (both royalty
artists and background singers),
promo and voice-over announcers
and other performers in
commercials, stunt persons and
specialty acts - as the
organisation itself publicly
states, "AFTRA's membership
includes an array of talent."
•
•
With the information
presently available, the union
can lay claim to 65,182 members
throughout the United States
(with a figure of 131 000 quoted
in early 2012). On March 30,
2012, it was announced that the
members of AFTRA and of SAG had
voted to merge and that the name
of the new organization is
SAG-AFTRA.
•
•
The two largest locals are
in Los Angeles and New York City,
with the federation as a whole
having 804 employees and total
assets worth $30,403,661.00.
•
•
AFTRA works in the
interests of its members.
•
•
Primarily, in the areas of
contract negotiation and
enforcement, advocacy (including
lobbying, legislation and public
policy issues) and member
benefits such as employer-paid
health plans.
•
•
AFTRA is affiliated with
the AFL-CIO, the International
Federation of Journalists and the
International Federation of
Actors. AFTRA also shares
jurisdiction of radio,
television, Internet and other
new media with its sister union
SAG, whilst the latter is the
body solely responsible for
motion picture performances.
•
•
The current National
Executive Director of AFTRA is
Kim Roberts Hedgpeth and the
current National President is
Roberta Reardon. • CLICK

Mark Sovol, spokesman for VRA,
stated that "included in the

is a product of the Shows.

VRA, founded in 1972, by the NBS

Soval.

Reprint: "Content,
(Audio/Video/Film)
distribution and technology
companies, need to aggressively
seek out new relationships to
accommodate the shift toward
convergence, " said Jim
O'Shaugnessy, global chairman of
PWC's entertainment media
practice. "Companies will need to
test new business models to
address increased fragmentation
and intellectual property in a
digital era."
•••
PWC's Global entertainment and
Media Outlook 2007-11 predicts
that Brazil, Russia, India and
China will account for 24% of
global growth in that period.
•••
The U.S. will remain the single
largest market for entertainment
and media, but is growing at the
slowest rate -- just 53% a year
to reach $754 billion in
2010.
•••
Europe, the Mideast and Africa,
the second-largest market, will
grow only slightly more quickly,
at 5.5% a year to reach $617
billion. the fastest-growing
region will be Asia Pacific,
ramping up at 9.6% a year to
reach $470 billion by 2011.
•••
Filmed entertainment was
predicted to rise globally by
4.9% a year to $103 billion. TV
network revenue will grow by 5.8%
a year to $228 billion, but TV
distribution will power ahead by
9.3% a year to $251 billion.
•••
Troy Cory- Stubblefield, CEO of
the NBS Wireless
Telephone®™©
Organization,
(WiTEL®™©) said,
"Not only did our 1992, and 2000
NBS WiTEL®™© growth
predictions become a financial
reality, but our NBS
WiTEL®™© Service
Marks, and the effects of the
assigment of coded wireless phone
numbers to each mobile phone
sold, became a money factory for
NBS." "Our efforts helped create
the new "land-line" rulings from
the FCC in favor of the so-called
wireless mobile industry." (
iPhones, Cellphones, Google
Androids, and other in the
wireless mobile industry,
etc.).
•••
Telco intermediary, Mark
Anderson, of PSI said, "it is
quite clear that NBS
WiTEL®™© was, and
still is being maintained by the
same ethics practiced in 1902 by
Nathan B. Stubblefield, the
grandfather of Troy Cory, and
founder of MSU. CLICK

"The proposed

will help account for almost 72%
of the total growth in

"The digitalization of NBS's

VRA," continued Anderson. By the
June, 2009, the analog to digital

Forbes
list. 2009 Top Ten Winners: to make Forbes
list.
•••
No. 1: Microsoft's founder
Bill Gates lost $18 billion. His net
worth dived to $40 billion from $58
billion a year earlier. Despite decline he
reclaimed the title of worlds' richest
man, because two other billionaires lost
more, on paper, than Gates did.
•••
No. 2: Warren Buffett, last
year's No. 1, saw his fortune decline
$25 billion as shares of Berkshire
Hathaway fell nearly 50% in 12 months, but
he still managed to slip just one spot to
No. 2. His net worth plunged to $37
billion from $62 billion.
•••
No. 3: Carlos Slim Helú -
Mexican business magnate and telecom
titan also lost $25 billion and dropped
one spot to No. 3, with a wealth of $35
billion down from $60 billion.
No. 4: Lawrence Ellison, U.S. software
giant Oracle Corp., $22.5 billion
No. 5: Ingvar Kamprad, Swedish retailer
IKEA, $22 billion
No. 6: Karl Albrecht, German supermarket
giant Aldi, $21 billion
No. 7: Mukesh Ambani, Indian
petrochemicals, $19.5 billion.
No. 9: Theo Albrecht, German supermarket
giant Aldi and the Monrovia-based Trader
Joe's chain in the U.S., $18.8 billion
No. 10: Amancio Ortega, Spanish retailing
$18.3 billion.
• In 2009 --
There were just 793 people rich enough
to make Forbes list.
•••
The richest people in the world
have endured a financial disaster over the
past years and gotten poorer, just like
the rest of us. The meltdown of global
financial markets slashed the ranks of the
world's billionaires by 30% in 2008,
Forbes magazine reports in its annual list
of the planet's richest people. "The world
has become a wealth wasteland," Forbes
states in the billionaire report on its
website. " This year the world's
billionaires have an average net worth of
$3 billion, down 23% in 12 months.
•••
The biggest loser in the world this
year, by dollars, was last year's biggest
gainer. India's Anil Ambani lost $32
billion--76% of his fortune--as shares of
his Reliance Communications, Reliance
Power and Reliance Capital all
collapsed.
•••
Ambani is one of 24 Indian
billionaires, all but one of whom are
poorer than a year ago. Another 29 Indians
lost their billionaire status entirely as
India's stock market tumbled 44% in the
past year and the Indian rupee depreciated
18% against the dollar. It is no longer
the top spot in Asia for billionaires,
ceding that title to China, which has
28.
•••
Overall, the number of the world's
billionaires fell to 793 from 1,125 a year
ago. Their collective net worth: $2.4
million, a drop of $2 trillion. •

However, there's good news, of
sorts, for the U.S.: "Americans account
for 44% of the money and 45% of the list's
slots," according to Forbes. •

Mr. ADRIAN: You've seen girls hundreds
of times on ads that were my models, but
you never knew it because we didn't get
credit. - PHOENIX: You've been in business
since 1946, right? Mr. ADRIAN:
Unfortunately, yes. (Soundbite of
laughter) - PHOENIX: Why unfortunately?
-Mr. ADRIAN: Well, I'm the oldest agent in
the business, and I don't know why I've
spent so many years in such a business.
But I started in 1946 with three girls,
and I thought I'd try it out for a summer
and see if it would work. PHOENIX: And
obviously it did. He's kind of like
Forrest Gump because over his long career,
he's crossed paths with so many legends,
including Walt Disney and Marilyn Monroe.
-- Mr. ADRIAN: I thought she was real
nice. She was living at the Hollywood
Studio Club for $7 a week. That's where a
lot of those aspiring actresses lived.
