A blurb from an article in Variety:

SAG reps have also attended most of the sessions at the WGA negotiations.

SAG’s contract expires June 30. It’s expected to begin the process of hammering out its demands early next year via member gatherings dubbed “W and W” for wages and working conditions.

In the meantime, the guild’s been able to persuade high-profile members to get out to the picket lines and up to the podiums — including Lisa Kudrow, Ray Romano,Sandra Oh, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Edie Falco, Kristin Davis, Tim Robbins, Gilbert Gottfried, Tina Fey, Felicity Huffman, Patricia Heaton, Sarah Silverman, Brad Garrett, Kathy Griffin, Alicia Keys and Dana Delany.

That ensures heightened visibility of strike issues and also sends the message to studios and nets that SAG won’t take a moderate stance at upcoming contract talks. SAG exec director Doug Allen’s mantra to members has been that the guild isn’t looking to strike, but if it’s not willing to do so, it’s engaged in collective begging.
