Backstage: Opponents of SAG/AFTRA merger filed suit in federal court Wednesday against the union and its officers, in an effort to preemptively void the merger referendum set to begin next week and force an actuarial study of the impact of merger on pension and health. Contrary to published reports, the suit does not seek to halt the ballots from being mailed, according to the plaintiffs' attorney, David B. Casselman of Wasserman, Comden, Casselman & Esensten, who spoke with "The Hollywood Reporter." However, if plaintiffs prevail, the ballots would be invalidated – or perhaps not even tallied.
