Former Screen Actors Guild General Counsel David White Discusses the Potentially Devastating Actors Strike

Posted on: Tuesday, 15 April 2008, 12:00 CDT

LOS ANGELES, April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Screen Actors Guild General Counsel David White discusses entertainment strategies, opposing arguments and consequences of the potentially devastating SAG strike. The labor negotiations begin today in an effort to reach a new collective bargaining agreement before the June 30, 2008 expiration of the present agreement.

"No question about it, such a strike would be devastating, particularly on the heels of the 100 day WGA strike. People are only getting back on their feet now by paying off credit card and home equity debt they used to get through the first work stoppage. Even if some film has been stockpiled by then, SAG can basically shut down new production, which means no work for many people," said David White, Esq., former General Counsel for the Screen Actors Guild.

David White, Esq. is now a partner at Entertainment Strategies Group, LLC which is a consulting firm that specializes in helping entertainment companies and professionals navigate the complex world of entertainment unions, Guilds, and collective bargaining agreements, and bridge the gap between labor and producers. A graduate of Stanford Law School and a Rhodes Scholar, David was a labor and employment attorney at O'Melveny & Myers, LLP before becoming SAG General Counsel.
