Because the actors won't get the opportunity until the next contract negotiation which may not be for some time. Sorry, but if the producers would give, and they CAN afford to, this wouldn't be an issue. Then the producers should think of that before screwing the little guys.

Whether SAG deserves more or not, is not the point. Hollywood is just starting to recover from the Writer's strike. Most workers in Hollywood do not make residuals and rely on wages to pay bills. Many people are barely able to hold onto their homes as it is. To think of striking now when the economy is in danger of falling into a deep recession(or depression, maybe?), is selfish and irresponsible. Labor disputes are a luxury right now we can't afford. With millions of people in the country just trying to hold onto their jobs, do you think it's wise to create more unemployment over things that can be fought for later? I signed a petition today on petitiononline for SAG to deal now and not strike. I encourage others to do the same. There's a time and a place for everything. NOW IS NOT THE TIME. Are you insane?!
