RAT opinion poll



This was forwarded to me.

Many of you have asked how you can help with the current actor strike,
well
here's a real real real easy way so I'm passing this on to you. It takes

less
than 2 minutes.
Adweek online is conducting a poll on whether actors should get
pay-per-play,
flat rate, or different methods of payment for cable and broadcast. Pay
per
play has been the standard since the union started negotiating
commercial
rates. Negotiators for the Advertisers have decided that they would like

to
end this. The result? A 40-60% pay CUT for commercial actors, an
approximate savings of 1/2 a percent for advertisers. Please take a
moment
to go to the following link:
http://www.adweek.com/
and then scroll down to the opinion poll box and vote!
(p.s. - the correct answer is pay-per-play!)
If you're a fellow actor this is a no-brainer; but if you're a friend or

family, here's a chance to really help us in our fight for fair pay from

corporate giants who's stated goal is to 'break the union'.
Thanks for your help. We need you.
