New NY Presidency May Help SAG Unify
Backstage: "Tensions between the leadership of the New York and Hollywood branches of the Screen Actors Guild have run high in recent years. The differences essentially concern the efficacy of the 2000 commercials strike and SAG's current troubles with its sister union, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. Nevertheless, for the past year or so, efforts to forge unity -- led by SAG president Alan Rosenberg and Paul Christie, president of the New York branch and the union's 2nd vice president -- have appeared to pay off."

The Strike was a very passionate time for many people in the industry, one which was in the news for quite some time, and I’m sure exhausting for many. I think its great to see that there have been improvements between the relationship of both coasts. Naturally, getting two large groups of people with different outlooks to agree on every single matter is near impossible. Hopefully the outcome of the elections will bring support to both sides, and continue in being a productive representation for such a large group of artists.
