Unionized Background Coverage for Louisiana -
Immediate Action Required
The current Screen Actors Guild contract will expire June 30, 2008. Currently
there is nothing on the table to make Louisiana a Unionized Production Area. An
initiative has been organized to Unionize Background Actors in Louisiana in
order to keep an everlasting Film presence in Louisiana. Please help support
the working Non-Union Actor by signing this petition and creating better pay
opportunites and health benefits for working Louisiana Actors.
IMMEDIATE ACTION IS REQUIRED! It will be three years before we get another
chance! You MUST sign the petition today!
We, the actors of Louisiana, in order to create a more perfect Union, demand
that the Screen Actors Guild cover background in the state of Louisiana.
I am signing this petition because I am an actor in Louisiana who is unable to
provide substantial income and / or health benefits because of the current
Non-Union Background Coverage situation in Louisiana OR because I am a
supporter of Unionized Background in Louisiana.
We, the actors of Louisiana, demand the Screen Actors Guild negotiate
Background Coverage in Louisiana for the upcoming contract starting July 1,
2008.
Please help spread the word! If Louisiana actors are EVER going to make it in
this industry they are eventually going to have to become Unionized. Here is
OUR chance to do that! Sign the online petition by visiting:
