Another blow to the CA economy: SAG may go on strike

[cellboy]

On KGO radio this morning Mike Farrell (MASH), and Ed Asner, and a few attorneys were discussing the possible SAG strike coming in January, and that this may also be yet another blow to the California Economy. Although I don't quite understand all the legal jargon on all of this, it was quite interesting: And if someone could explain what exactly both sides are fighting about, in simple jargon, please do :)

Yep. That's what they were talking about (I thought there was more, since I missed the first 20 minutes). In fact, even though the Mary Tyler Moore DVD's are not that cheap, Ed Asner said gets paid zip. He said DVD's were not considered a big part of the future during negotiations then, as was VHS. And actually DVD movie purchases may, down the road, also be a thing of the past; for we will be downloading movies on line. And just think. I thought the, Super 8, Brownie camera, and the Polariod Swinger was the future (lol). No wonder my grandmother was a bit nuts. What changes she saw in 102 yrs! :)
