Ginger Gonzaga Instagram – I know a spin when I see a spin, and sadly if the @sagaftra negotiating committee didn’t listen to @_justinebateman_’s knowledge and foresight on AI when we were in the power seat, as it seems they did not, I will personally be voting down this deal. I feel for Justine, who tirelessly shared her knowledge and sought to educate everyone beyond what their reactivity and anxiety might accept. I’m grateful to our negotiating committee, and I know that position is pressure-filled and hard, and I’m grateful for their time, tears, energy and what they fought for, but we have to think about our future, protect our profession and the professions of @iatse members and even agents and managers for that matter. The lack of transparency with a summery as suggested here, rather than the full deal, is also a 🚩 and I urge @sagaftra to obviously release the full deal, and in the meantime please comb through the language after @_justinebateman_ posts it. We are in a power position. It’s no different than people forgetting to vote in 2016 and then being like, “oh well I didn’t think THAT (list of nonsense) would happen, when many of us knew it would. I encourage everyone to comb through what Justine posts and think about your careers. My guess is the deal will pass due to fatigue, but I will personally be voting “no” on the basis of AI. We CAN still protect ourselves. In two years saying, “oh Justine was right” won’t give you your power back. **also reminder. In 2008 the deal I voted against didn’t protect us with steaming…it was a “new technology” and “we’d keep talking as it kept evolving” – that left us with NO $$ when it came to streaming and there was no course correction until this strike. We can’t do that again with AI and wait 10 + years after the damage is done to fight for things we deserved in the first place. Sending lots of love and encouragement to everyone during these frustrating times. Big hugs. #sagaftra #sag #sagstrike #deal #AI
