SAG members sign online solidarity statement

May 29, 2009 Baldwin, Clooney, Field and Hanks became lightning rods last year during the contract debate when they publicly declined to support a strike authorization vote. The guild, which is now being run by a slim majority of those in favor of ratification, collected the digital signatures of 500 members supporting the contract's passage, including Adam Arkin, Amy Brenneman, Morgan Fairchild, Dule Hill, former SAG president Melissa Gilbert, Ed Begley Jr., Jane Curtin, Patricia Heaton, Kathy Joosten, Rob Lowe, Ian McShane and Sam Waterston. The Statement of Support reads: I support Screen Actors Guild National Board of Directors and negotiators, and wholeheartedly recommend that SAG members VOTE YES on our tentative Television and Theatrical Contracts.
