The good news on the Hollywood labor front is that the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have voted to set aside past differences and to resume bargaining as a single unit. This is great but it would have been greater if it had happened before the last negotiation where they went their separate ways, AFTRA took a lousy deal and SAG was then forced to accept much the same.
There is as yet no renewed talk of a merger, though that has always made sense to most folks who aren't part of AFTRA's operating staff. At least everyone now knows the folly of dividing yourself and thereby allowing yourself to be conquered.
