As you know my husband Tyrone is an actor and is a SAG member. He only got out of the U.S. Navy last year so he can pursue his dream full-time. He only just got ONE paid acting gig last week and the talk of SAG strike has been for a few months now and if the strike is authorized, it can pose an enormous threat to our family financially as we are both unemployed.
I understand why SAG members want to go on strike. They're not getting their part of their share for their work being posted on the online media, among other things. BUT, with the way the economic situation is already - people not getting (enough) work - you're gonna go on strike so NOBODY gets work and gets paid? Not only will SAG members be affected, but you're talking about a domino effect onto the whole entertainment community! Think about the writers, the crew...Most importantly, why can't you think about YOURSELF? YOU don't need work?! YOU don't need money?! Well, maybe you don't need money 'cuz you're already making millions...But think about all the struggling actors that are out there trying to make a living in an already hard economy!
Think twice and I say NO to SAG strike!
