A win for U4S and Sanity

This, my friends, is a great day. Those wonderful folk at Variety are reporting that the moderate SAG group, Unite for Strength, has secured six of the eleven seats they so bravely contested for the last few months.

This is a well-deserved win, both for them and the thousands of Actors who might finally achieve peace of mind and more job security once the U4S members resolve the festering stalemate between SAG and the major producers. Wheels, we are assured, are already in motion.

Raise a glass to them, folks: An Actor's life is a herculean challenge, valiantly striving for success and validation against seemingly countless and insurmountable enemies who deploy all manner of nefarious acts to halt their ascent. No Actor deserves to meet added resistance from those who are meant to guard their best interests.

The outdated thinking and disrespect of the members displayed by the 'Membership First' coalition induced widespread uncertainty that was as doubtlessly stressful as it was undeserved. This is a new start - in more ways than one.
