The board of the Screen Actors Guild rejected the "last, best and final offer" by producers Saturday night, continuing a months-long deadlock over contract talks.
SAG rejects 'final offer' from producers
The Screen Actors Guild board of directors on Saturday rejected the 'last, best and final offer' by Hollywood producers for a new contract.
The contract was rejected by 73 percent of SAG's board members, spokeswoman Pamela Greenwalt said in a statement.
SAG called the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers' demand for the contract to run for three years instead of two, 'regressive and damaging.'
Producers insist the three-year contract would start when it is ratified, instead of when the last one expired, which would mean SAG would not be able to join with the writers' and directors' guilds to increase their bargaining power when their contracts expire in 2011.
Opening nights
Brewster Theater Company's production of Ira Levin's suspenseful mystery "VERONICA'S ROOM" opens Friday night at 8 in the Cerebral Palsy Headquarters Building, 15 Mt. Ebo South, Brewster, N.Y.Levin may be better known for such creepy works as "Deathtrap," "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Stepford Wives," but one should not discount "Veronica's Room" for chilling drama.
